Grid Calculator

NEW! Version 1.20!
This is a simple program that I find very useful when the band opens up. It will tell you which way to point the beam, and tell you the distance between you and the station you are working. You have to know their 6 digit grid square for the best results. It will work with a 4 digit grid, but it will not be as accurate, and is not very useful within your own grid!

This is the same as the one that is available on the "DXCC" web site. I really do plan on improving it when I can some spare time, and I also have a few other ideas for handy tools to be used along with Ham Radio. Please feel free to take this, and let others know about it. I did this program using Visual Basic, and it runs fine under Windows '95, '98, NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

NOW IMPROVED! Many new features. PDF doc file also available.

Please fill in the form, so I have a record of who is using this program, and I will let you know when I have made any further improvements via email.
