Urb, 
 
Yes, I'm seeing lat/lon of 0.00/0.00 when running the application 
with a zip code with either Firefox 3.0.6 or IE 7.0.5730.

I ran a list both ways--using zip code and then actual coordinates.  I think
there is a problem, apparently with the zip code version.  For example, the
zip code version (85749 is my zip code) shows Fiji as being 173 degrees and
11,246 miles away.  The coordinate version (32.25 N, 110.69 W) shows Fiji as
being 246 degrees and 5805 miles.  The latter seems correct.


I ran the program using your data. Take a look at the following.

[]  

The last entry is me. I see that you ran the program twice entering a
zip code of 85749 which produced a
latitude and longitude of 0.00 and 0.00. 

I'm trying to isolate why it worked for me and not for you. What
browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) and version 
number are you using. With your browser open, click on Help on the Menu Line
(it says something like File, Edit, View,
Favorites, Tools, and Help.) When you click on Help on of the options will be
About Internet Explorer or whatever your
browser's name. Click on that option and it will tell you the name of your
browser and it's version.

Is anyone else having the same problem?

Yeah, it's wrong. Look at the heading of the result:

 Headings centered on , - Your Latitude 0.00 Your Longitude 0.00

Tried mine with ZIP code also (80602), same results are yours.

 The Beam Headings page is now working on the redesigned
 NJDXA website.

 Go to:

 http://njdxa.org/dx-tools/beam-headings.php

 If you're in the US you can enter your zip code and the program
 generates the directions based upon the geographic center of
 your zip code. You can enter the latitude and longitude of your
 house it produces the listing from you house.

 Don't forget to enter your name and call if you want the
 listings personalized.
