John, true that the propagation moves around, but, when you type FT8X into DX4Win from my location it says 123 degrees. If I select long path the antenna moves to 303 degrees as it should. However, on 30M the antenna moves to 30 degrees for long path and ONLY on 30 meters.

However I want to use all the features of DX4WIN for rotor control, DX Clusters, band decoder, logging etc. HRD uses com port connection to my rig (ICOM Pro II), so I have a problem, both DX4WIN and HDR need to connect to the rig the same way, is there any way around it? Can HRD be controlled from within DX4WIN for example?? Appreciate peoples comments 73's de Tony G8DQZ
