Hi Everyone,
Does anyone on the list have suggestions for ways to quickly associate
callsigns, country names, latitude and longitude and similar data? I think
what I'm looking for is a well-permuted index of some kind. Seems like
occasionally I see a post about such a service, but I've lost track of it/them.
Simple English names for country locations for unfamiliar callsigns would be
quite helpful. Even better would be maps depicting the country's whereabouts,
its longitude and latitude, and bearing and distance from my QTH. Frequently
heard prefixes like Gs, Ms, Fs, Ds and other European countries are pretty easy
to remember, as are Central and North American callsigns. But beyond those
locations I get VERY ignorant VERY quickly.
My ProLog Call Master files do a good job of quickly determining beam headings
and distance to a specific ham's QTH; they are fine. But less frequently heard
DX callsigns are hard for me to visualize for beam headings and just general
information about the names and whereabouts of countries, their ham populations
and the like.
What I'm looking for is a way for me to be less geography-challenged. (No
wonder my DXCC tally list is so sparce!) Not sure how I ever made it through
elementary and high school geography classes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and 73,
Steve Banks
