Hello Roger. I read your Blog with much interest and note that you invariably show the distance between your QTH and that of the station you heard/worked. I plan to go /P in next Tuesdays RSGB UKAC contest but can not find a suitable programme to calculate the distance to any stations I work (not much good when it comes to computers). I wonder if you could kindly point me in the direction of some suitable software ? Thank you and keep up the interesting Blog. 72. John - GW3OIN.
Thank you so much Roger. This will save me so much work - in the past these calculations have been done with pen and paper and it has been a real pain. All the best with your autumn DXCC challenge. Kind regards. John - GW3OIN.

For WSPR I use the data on WSPRnet.org. This generates distances in km.
ReplyDeleteFor UKAC sessions, I use the on-line logging: simply complete the log online and it automatically generates distance based on QTH locators.
Not forgetting that the UKAC logging also allows you to plot a map showing all your contacts - very useful.
