[LOGic] How do I set the reference for the Direction field in theSpot Log?

Ron,
Go to Tools, Setup, Station Info, and enter your station location latitude
and longitude. Logic will then calculate your exact grid square, and use
that location to calculate direction, distance, beam headings, etc. from. If
you bring up the LogicMap display, it will show you exactly where it is
measuring from.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [LOGic] How do I set the reference for the Direction field in
theSpot Log?
I am trying to set the reference LOGic uses when calculating the Direction 
in the Spot Log. The Direction column is based on a location that I do 
not desire, and I don't know how to change it.
For instance, the Direction for 4U1UN keeps coming up at 46 degrees, but 
4U1UN is actually 100 degrees from my QTH. When I click on Short, my 
antenna turns to 46 degrees, I have to manually change the rotor to beam to 
4U1UN.
All the Directions in the Spot Log are incorrect. The Spot Log seems to be
using a center somewhere in the United States, as some of the headings are 
not too far off.
Other windows in LOGic that display headings seem to use their own 
reference. It would be nice if all the calculations that determine headings
or Directions used the same reference.
The DX Calculator uses the Station Info to calculate its beam headings. If 
I put in the correct grid square for 4U1UN (FN30), the DX Calculator 
displays the correct heading. So I know I have my correct coordinates 
entered into Station Info, and the program has access to the correct 
coordinates.
The LOGicMap has an options window to change its reference for calculating 
headings. It defaults to some unknown location, but can be changed to my 
location, and redrawn to display the correct headings.
Any help would be appreciated.
