I noticed that too as I just worked him. Are you using a CD-ROM or some database info? Buckmaster has the address of AH3D as POB 1945, Jackson, WY. Included with the info is the LAT/LON for that QTH. I figure that it is grabbing that info and using that to determine the beam heading.

OH2BH also operated from Johnston island using the same callsign in 1996. I have some 1996 AH3D contacts logged in DXBase. Strangely, even though I have tried mapping the callsign AH3D to KH3, DXBase thinks that AH3D is in Wyoming and shows a beam heading for Wyoming. The RAC CD-ROM shows the QSL manager as OH2BH at a PO box in Wyoming, but not sure why that should affect callsign mapping. Although this problem is no big deal, I am curious about the cause - and, of course, I would like to correctly map the callsign. I can map AH3D to any prefix other than KH3. What in the heck am I missing here? With thanks and 73, Al, K6RIM Albert C.
