[Dxbase] Antenna Beam Headings Wrong

Sat Apr 9 11:54:46 EDT 2016

Well, well. According to the DXBase Help File:
Latitude: if South - Negative
 If North - Positive
Longitude: if East - Negative
 If West - Positive
KP4 is:
Latitude 18.3461 North
and Longitude 66.0486 West
So.......I changed the Longitude to + Positive and is working PERFECT:
This is what I have now on Users Options/General:
Latitude: +18.35
Longitude: +66.04
I have checked VK0, 5R, FT4, etc and it matches with a Beam Heading List I have downloaded from "The North Jersey DX Association". Also is common sense that 5R is is somewhere in the 100 degrees east and not on the 225 W.
Probably in all my ham career, I have worked everybody through the Long Path. (no way, I'm Kidding).
Thanks,

I have entered in DXBase Options the following:
Latitude : +18.34
Longitude: -66.05
How about that?

Just remember that the numerical sign for Longitude is different in DXbase than most programs. West is negative and east is positive. Do you have your own long set to positive?

I have recently observed that the antenna headings are wrong for most of the countries I have selected. Some are okay. For example: USA are okay; Spain are okay. Juan de Nova, way out(wrong), Madagascar, the short path almost 180 degrees out. I have checked KP4 coordinates in User Options and they are okay.
I am using DXBase 2007.
Any advise?
