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.

I'm sure if you started charging for those you'd be hearing from

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.

There's a free utillity called Pizza that does something like this.
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.

Why should they BUY yours?


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.
