Currently in version 0.5 Beta, with HamGrids, you can Convert Latitude and Longitude into a Grid Square, Convert a Grid Square into Latitude and Longitude, calculate the distance between two Grid Squares, and calculatea beam heading between grid squares.

I tried to run the grid calulator and got a msg saying that the file was corrupted or invalid.
This happens from either the web site or the PC.

Simon, could you please send me a more detailed instruction for your 160 meter antenna. I have been looking for a compact version and this might be the one that will wrok for me. This is the antenna that used 140 feet of insulated wire where 70 feet of it is wrapped around an 1-1/2″ diameter tube. The areticle that I have has a bunch of into on it but I would like a more detailed account for this project.
Thanks
Bob
