Default DX mapping program

I came across this very useful radio DX map tool on the Yahoo groups MWDX.
Courtesy of Jurgen Bartels.

It will show you a map with the path, bearing and distance to any point on
earth from your shack at home.
Really useful for planning your antenna directions or if you just want to
know the direction a signal is coming in from.

If you like listening to the hams and are puzzled by the callsigns, it gives
the callsign prefix's and location.
Also shows the greyline.

Well worth a try
