Gents: Sorry to say I will not be able to work on correcting the direction-finding map azimuth lines today. So I am posting what is "close nuff" for now.
It should be obvious that the mystery station is surely not in Maine or Ontario or Kentucky! Last evening it overwhelmed KDKA here in the eastern end of Tennessee. By the time the station moves to 590 I might have the azimuth lines made precise. They are at least useful right now. Only the results from listeners over, say, 500 miles away, will have significant error. The map is indeed a polar projection. When the listener is in the center of the map the azimuth line will be exact (straight). As you go farther and farther away from center the line should curve but does not. All it takes to correct that is simple algebra and time. Right now I have to return to some work I have been doing on a project for the local museum. I come up for air every hour or so. As of about 2:05 PM Sunday the map is at: http://tonnesoftware.com/1020.gif Oh yes. Sure would be nice to have someone in south-central Virginia or north-central North Carolina take a shot at the station. Better yes, eastern Virginia.
