Hello:
A bit confused over Great Circle directions. I believe that if one is traveling from Boston to London via air along the great circle connecting these two cities, he would Constantly have to adjust his heading; e.g., one compass heading the whole way won't do it. Is this correct ? So, now to my real question" Let's say that there is an omni broadcast station in London, and that its broadcast goes out in all directions. I believe radio waves follow great circles when considering a spherical globe. True ? Then, how would the chap in Boston, assuming he has an extremely directional antenna, point his antenna ? Would it just be the final angle along the great circle when it crosses Boston ? Looked, but surprisingly couldn't find any good links to any great circle direction programs on the web. Lots that calculate distances, but couldn't locate any that show distances, etc., relative to my questions above. Anyone happen to know of any ? Much thanks, Bob |
