IIRC I specified 20 parsecs diameter for HM space, which is why I
wasn't discussing about the "area code."  I agree that if you didn't
know what part of the galaxy you were in, pulsars would be the first
step in narrowing it down.  Although if you're that badly lost, you
might need to look for angelic visitation before you look for pulsars.
