Is there a KML or similar file that shows all of the CQ Zones?

Question

I'm wanting to view the CQ Zones in Google Earth, and I understand that a KML file will allow me to do so. Is there a place where I can get a KML file that shows all of the CQ Zones?

Yes, there is now. This is probably what you want.

Thanks for posting these! The StackExchange sites usually discourage "link only answers" but in this case I don't know what more needs to be said :-) – natevw - AF7TB Nov 05 '21 at 23:02

There is not any such listing, as the definitions for CQ zones are a bit ambiguous. The official definitions can be found at the CQ Magazine WAZ award definition. Areas like the ocean aren't covered, otherwise it's a fairly simple geography lookup to get the areas defined.

This may be helpful. Specifically the link titled "Map of QTH Locators for whole World". I was able to successfully determine my grid square using it and it covers the globe.

That's just grid squares, not CQ zones... – PearsonArtPhoto Nov 06 '13 at 19:28
