[Dx4win] Nodes

[Alan Zack]

Along this line, how can I find a Node near Las Vegas, NV?
In my drop down internet address list I only find N7OD in Hemet, CA, as 
being the closet to me but still some distance away.  Next would be N7TR in 
Reno, NV, but that is about twice as far away as Hemet, CA.  I also find 
N7US in Mesa, AZ, but it is no longer in use.  Looks like N7US moved to Ill.

I really like this feature and have just started using it with the N8S 
operation.  It shows me where N8S is working.  I go to his freq and if I 
work him he is added to the log by just clicking on his spot.  I hadn't used 
it before because I could not find a node closer to Las Vegas.

TIA & 73
