Anyone here think they would pay for a map like this?
I have created some software to create a radial map to help you know
where to point your antenna. A sample of the map can be seen here... http://www.thewishzone.com/cdw/hamradio/RadialMap.gif Pretty much any part of this map can be customized from the start and end point of the radials how many degrees apart each one is, having multiple sets of radials, such as a set every 1 degree from 97 to 100 miles out with an other set from 5 to 200 miles every 15 degrees. Any number of sets of any length can be done. As well as circles of any size. All very easy, just supply the center lat long. I can also print the map any size up to 42" wide/high. I've never printed had any paper that big on this printer but I do know it will take paper that big. I would have got a 36" wide printer but it was too slow, and this one is faster. With the software I am developing creating the map is very easy but obviously printing it isn't cheap. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com |

I'm sure I would too, that's why I am trying to contact them to see what they have to say first. I may just print up one for me and a few for some friends for the cost of using the printer and not sell them at all but if it is something a lot of people would find useful and it can be done for a reasonable price, then I will try to see if I can sell them. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com |

What I like about it is , you can import your antenna polar diagram from NEC etc and overlay that as well as the compass bearing. OK it's just a line drawing map , but good enough for most purposes. http://tonnesoftware.com/pizza.html 73 Brian GM4DIJ -- Brian Howie |

Get a grip, of course I will have an agreement with the supplier of the basic map data. Forgive me for thinking that others mind find useful something I find useful. I made this map for me and a few friends. If no one else wants one, then so be it. I just thought, since it is now very easy for me to make more, centered on any point, I would ask. Someone in another forum mentioned that they could tell you where any town with in 100+ miles of them was with in 15 degrees. If you are the same, I doubt you would find this map very useful. As for me, there are over 400 towns with in 100 miles of me and I have no idea where most of them are. With this map I can quickly look and see how far and in what direction places are from me. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com |

Google Earth will give you the coordinates of a point anywhere. There are
lots of free ways to convert lat long to bearing such as trigonometry spreadsheets - or a GPS. Also, the FCC lists stations by lat/long.

I'm obviously not explaining myself very well. I'm not trying to say I have come up with some new revolutionary way to determine what heading some place is from you. The ways of doing that are endless. Which one is best, depends on the situation. Sure there are a number of places you can purchase a map and draw radials on it. However the chances of getting one that covers the area you want it to and having it centered where you want it aren't very good. Drawing all that on a map by hand is just way too much work if you ask me. I just think it is kind of cool to have a large map hanging on my wall centered at my location with radials going out. But hey I just like maps, guess that makes me weird. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com |

I suppose someone that didn't have a PC available to run DXATLAS might
want a wall map. For myself, wall space is at a premium, so anything that I can do with the PC is better for me than a wall map. DxAtlas (available shareware at dxatlas.com, $29.95 registration after some preview time) provides a wealth of information relative to what you are describing. Not only can you set it for your QTH and display the world as a map, you can click on a given location and it will give you the bearing heading and distance! It also integrates well with other packages such as IonoProbe, and a large group of other programs... All much more useful than a wall map, in my estimation...

Point the antenna where the signal is strongest or least affected by multipath... no map needed. I learned that lesson when installing/maintaining FM broadcast (67KHz SCA) background music receivers, back when I was young and impressionable. Now, I'm not so young... ;-) Still, the map would look good on the wall in the shack! Vy 73, Bryan WA7PRC |
