That map is a copy of Jamie WA7JH's map window in his running copy of YAAC at his station. YAAC has a mini webserver built into it so other computers on the same LAN as the YAAC computer can see most of the information the YAAC user can see (the map, the station list, the incoming text message list, etc.). Jamie has exported that local webserver by port-forwarding through his firewall router, so anyone on the Internet can see what his station sees. Thankfully, the webserver in YAAC is small and stupid enough that it can't be used as a bot vector for attacking other systems; the worst it can do is crash YAAC from being overloaded with requests.
