[Antennas] Antenna direction

2002年11月23日 17:00:56 -0600

Several years ago I wrote a simple BASIC program that would do just this.
You put in your lat and long and it listed the beam setting and distance
to every country in the world. If I can find a copy of the program I
will make it available on my web site for all to use. Not sure if I
have it anymore. It was real neat as it was based on actual cities
in every country plus in some cases several cities so that large countries
are completely covered. All that was needed was enter prefix and up popped
the heading plus the reverse heading. It would be easy to modify to add
new prefixes such as the new prefixes to former USSR states.
Keep your fingers crossed that I have not discarded the disk when I cleaned
house about 6 months ago.
