My system crashed and I have just started re-installing stuff. Last night I
spent getting the Shortwave Log program back with all the latest database
updates.

I am having a problem with the system settings Latitude/Longitude. No matter
how I enter the values it thinks I am in Russia somewhere? I have tried
using +- where required (I think correctly) I am thinking I am not doing
something right. BTW I am in Carrollton,TX right outside of Dallas.

From my GPS Latitude -- 32deg 58.18N
Longitude-096deg 54.11W

Any suggestions?

Maybe it only needs the degrees and minutes, not seconds.
32.58N
96.54W

There is a yahoo group for Shortwave Log for any questions on the
program. As far as longitude & latitude - West should be positive &
East negative. Opposite of the norm. North is positive and South negative.

Also it should be decimal only. Eg 54.11.

Jim:
Which version of SWLog do you have??

I upgraded and my operating system (a garage sale derived 'puter with a
XP pro OS of dubious origins which refuses all updates


editions earlier than the latest SWOLOG work fine,cause I successively
upgraded off them.

I'm trying to find the whole SWLog file for a version preceeding the
current issue so I can reload and start from scratch

If those zipfiles are still around you could save my swl'in butt

Hi, Jim.

Decimal format only (technically the format is "double").

There's a function in the program to convert from DMS to decimal.

32° 58' 18" N -- 32.9717
96° 54' 11" W -- 96.9197
