[ARDF] 1:10000 vs. 1:150000

[Dale Hunt WB6BYU]

Would it help if you printed them on 8 1/2 x 14 (legal) paper instead?

I'd vote for the longer courses and use whatever size paper and/or
scale you need to make it work.

having
an internal debate about the map scale to use for the competition.  We 
would
like to have the maps fit on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.

1:15000: Same scale as used in World Championships.  We can probably get
          slightly longer courses on the maps, but that might involve 
slight
          overlap in terrain from day 1 to day 2.

1:10000: Easier to read, including some terrain detail (principally dry
          ditch markings) that tend to get lost at 1:150000.  Courses 
would
          necessarily be shorter in order to fit entirely on the map - 
some
          classes would probably have an optimal course length < 6 km.

      I would like to get a sense of what everyone would prefer.  In 2006
in North Carolina we used 1:15000.  In 2007 in California we used 
1:10000.
