Steve,
Take a look at DXview:

I think it does most of what you're looking for ...

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
