IF (Big IF) I've got it narrowed down correctly, We should be looking for the first person to dig in an area around the island of Grand Manan off the coast of Maine. That could go as far east as Long...

My bad.
It's the midpoint array of the Ostankino Tower in Moscow.

So, then... As they're all world record holders, could our answer be The ...

Sooo hard to do with the tools that I have, but the distances in kilometers/100 seem to be all ending up in a kind of corridor that goes from a little west of Chicage to around New Brunswick.

I dun...

[Rogi Ocnorb]

Distances from a common point? (Back to the "digging here" thing)

Now they switch to 4pm?

I tried playing around with the values for the margins in the source, due to the odd value of "8" on one of them. There is a possible "TH" in it, but realistically, it's probably just how the layout ...

[Rogi Ocnorb]
