I generated a separate KML file for each prefix, VK0 .. VK9, simply because the entire amateur operator database is 14000+ records and Google Earth doesn't like that many entries - says 'Not responding'.. because I tried that first.
The available map details were kept sparse on purpose, just callsigns and approximate positions, to keep the KML file small. I could add some detail but not really interested.
The ACMA data has statements about the use of the RRL data in regards to privacy etc but I have used extracted data then used another data source file to get Lat/Long versus locality name and postcode to get approximate positioning. The real data used from the RRL is purely callsign, the remainder is interpreted.
Not a bad project outcome for time well under two days from absolute start.
The data files will eventually be made available via my web site at VK4ADC.COM, at my convenience.
