I rechecked the coordinate entries and found that the longitude setting was East instead of West. The change took care of the problem. I missed that detail the first time I checked. Thanks.

There are three bearings in the sunrise/sunset window: Heading - this is the "short path" heading Long path - this is the "long path" heading Reciprocal - this is the heading from HS to your QTH Are you sure you are reading the screen correctly? Does it affect other entities or just HS? Check the first screen of your preferences - are you latitude (including North) and Longitude (including West) entered correctly? Try moving DX4WIN.CTY file to a safe place, and download the one from http://dx4win.ad1c.us/ and see if the same thing happens. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us
