Review Summary For : CQ Maps
Reviews: 97MSRP: varies
Description:
Professional Maps for Amateur Radio. Each Amateur Radio map is custom made for you and is the end result of hours of enjoyable labor and painstaking quality control. In the end, my goal is for all who order from CQmaps to sit back and look at their map as not only a geographic tool, but as something to be truly happy with.

Had an order mix up but company corrected it fast! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ordered a map from CQ maps for the shack, there were a few order mixups initially, but the company was quick to correct them and send out the correct map! A+ for service & the product.

Bonus was the extra 100 watts & a wire graphic placed on the map :)

Great product, great company.

I feel like another odd man out here...

I ordered a cq maps to place in the shack, arrived quickly & on time, product was decent, I would've liked a little more thickness on the paper used for the map, but that's just a personal preference.

My grid locator was wrong on the map, so I notified the company, and they quickly sent out a replacement map, but the replacement map was not the original map that I ordered, however it did have the correct information on it this time.

I ordered a DX Entities, Prefixes & CQ Zones map, & I received a 'Azimuthal equidistant projection map' which looks great and all, but more for the person who uses directional antennas perhaps?

3 stars for effort :)

Nice Map--Wish It Was Bigger. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A 4.5 maybe? I feel like the odd man out, after reading all the rankings of 5. The company is first rate in customer service and questions answered. The map is excellent quality, and the free map that was previouisly offered is just as nice. I plan to get others. I just wish they were a bit larger. I also got a map from Amazon for $15. It is approximately 2'x3', and lists the zones, however it also lists country prefixes on individual countries, as well as the country's prefix, CQ and ITU zone at the bottom of the map. I mounted it on cork board. This map will be my push pin map. The CQ maps will be more for decoration.

Very good product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I resently bought a customized NPOTA map. The map is very well made, and was delivered virtually in no time. I made the order in the morning and the customized map with my call sign was shipped in the same day! Great job!

I bought the Azimuth Projection Map and the DX Companion Table. Truly worth the price to be able to have the information at my finger tips. The best I've seen from any source at any price. Yup! it is a DX'ers best source of information for the shack

Repeat customer Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My desk at my day job is a small cube, so there isn't much room for a lot of personal items. Once I hung the college degree, security certification and a few pictures of the family, there was - I thought - no room left for anything ham-related.

I heard about CQ Maps through the "100 Watts and A Wire" podcast, so I decided to look see what they had available. Nothing screams "ham radio" like an azimuthal projection map - you just don't see them used anywhere else - so I ordered a 13x19 laminated version with the 100WAAW logo.

Aside from what I thought was a steal of a price ($25 for a custom, laminated map), it arrived within days of the order. It fit the available space perfectly, makes a great conversation piece, and allows me a few moments of daydreaming here and there.

But wait! There's more!

My order came with a bonus US Call Sign Districts map. With no place to put this map, I decided to hang it in my shack - right next to a second azimuthal projection map. Both fit neatly into 13x19 poster frames and look great.

Top quality products for a great price - you can't ask for anything more.

Well Made and Easy to Read Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very well laid out and easy to read. Even for these old eyes. I got the laminated version and it is made of sturdy stock with a very clear laminate covering. It looks great up on the wall!
