No, because if you notice, the category in the Summary Window says Country ( not callsign ). If you enter a callsign, the software uses the callsign to look up what country it is and it then computes the heading to that country. The summary window is not the place to do what you are wanting to do. If you want to see heading to a callsign, follow the earlier comments posted.
