Tom, The comments from Bill and Tony are both correct. In the summary window, if you are entering a call with the category type of HF Country, then you are getting a heading computed to the center of the US. If you want a beam heading to a specific State, then change the category to HF States and then enter the two letter abv for the State. If you want a beam heading to a specific callsign, then enter it in the log, press tab. If the lat/lon for that call are on the CD you are using DXbase will use it. If not, then it will use a default to center of the country. To cancel the entry you put in the log, press the ESC key.
