Am I missing something? Why not just put this info in a online
worksheet/excel, rather than compile a program with no source code?

Hi Doug!
I trust the latitude/longitude readings from my GPS receiver
(or GPS in phones or radios), but do not rely on those for
county, state/province, or international boundaries. For these
boundaries, I rely on markers/signs. For example, the boundary
between the states of Arizona and Utah was supposed to follow
37 degres North exactly - but it was surveyed long before we
had GPS. At some points, that boundary is just north of 37
degrees North (DMx6/DMx7 grid boundary). Near Lake Powell, the
grid boundary falls in Arizona. Along US-160 or US-191 further
east, the grid boundary falls in Utah. This is even more
pronounced along portions of the USA/Canada border, especially
the section that is supposed to follow 49 degrees North from
Washington state to Minnesota's Northwest Angle.

First time I remember with THESE symptoms. I suspect most times that
memory gets corrupted by a stray electron or proton, it's just as likely to
cause a reset as anything, but this time whatever happened was pretty easy
to isolate. But the answer is (luckily) usually the same: Power Cycle.

And then you have the western states whose borders are determined based on
"degrees west of Washington" which will not fall on grid lines because the
Washington meridian, at the Old Naval Observatory, is about 3 minutes west
of 77 degrees west.

Perhaps I?m missing something, too. Why not use a full-featured tracking
program, such as SatPC32, that has all of this already included?

I haven't run it yet and am not on Windows currently so can't, but as to
Vinny's question, it says it's a calculator so I assume it calculates
frequencies with more precision not just every 5khz or something, right?
As for Mark's question, maybe you don't always need or want all the
features of SatPC32.
Finally, maybe it is partly an effort by Terry to see if he could do it ;-)
After all, why don't we all just pick up the phone if we need to talk to
someone who isn't within earshot?
Because we're hams!
With that said I think sharing the source code is almost always a good idea
:-)
