that link was working nicely for me earlier tho the zoomability is kaputskiy at the moment
but if anyone would like to pioneer a complete punctoscopy of the crimea
aka ua2kr3 plus sc3
i believe it was possible & may again be possible to do so
whenever these clowns wake up
tho even before the site went kaputskiy it was already kaputskaya
if you know what i mean
for i am not even sure i myself do from memory alone
however
despite
as well as
thanx to
the multiple irregularities of the equipment
the try could yet prove to be only barely doable
if not utterly challenging
& thus a lot of fun
the prospective punctonymist will even have the honor of having to invent diglyphs for the
14 rayons
& hexaglyphs for the tripoint names
or rather actually dodecaglyphs when in full regalia like ua2kr3xxyyzz
which however raedwulfs list suggests will be the simple & easy part of the overall caper
involving a good dozen or so internal tripoints i would guess
for this thrill not even a reading knowledge of cyrillic would appear to be necessary
