Hi all.

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, so ADMIN please feel free to move it to a more appropriate LOCSTAT.

After my first CTX activation, I was trying to find an easy way of finding 'straight line' distances so I could record my contact distances.
Without downloading Google Earth etc, I found this ..... Brilliantly easy, super simple and very very quick ...

Simply type in where you are/where and where the other station said they were ... and BINGO ... 'crow flies' distance given.
You even get a nice map to show you :-)

Hope it helps. :thumb:

Hi Matt

I think this is a good spot for the topic.

A handy calculator indeed. To add to the topic, I use a similar device http://www.freemaptools.com/how-far-is-it-between.htm

But it's whatever takes your fancy. Always nice seeing how well your doing. Just checked and got around a 870 mile contact on the new mobile setup today into Hungary. So at least thats working ;)

Hello Hawk,

this is a good website where you can expect from what is the distance between the stations.

Better have a good Antenna behind a bad Transceiver , then a bad Antenna behind a good Transceiver!
