Barb,
AHS does, indeed, have a web site with a page of written data about the
heat zone map, but in their wisdom - or greed - only members can actually
see and download it. I mean, really! I know they want members and need
money, but if they want that heat zone map to become a useable and useful
tool, they should have posted the map and data and then offered to sell a
large one. They are missing the point of the web entirely, as so many
organizations seem to do.
I've been a member for somewhere around 20 years, but their site really
gets on my nerves. In order to log into the member only part, you have to
have read the handbook they sent out at some point and gotten some magic
number from it. Right! I don't remember getting it and if I did, I
probably pitched it, and if I didn't I have no idea where it is - so now
I'd have to call them. Forget it! If I had time, I would write them a
few rather pointed observations about their cookie ridden, hard selling
site.
FWIW, here's the URL to the heat zone map info. page...
