DX4WIN beam headings are referenced to the geographic North Pole - 90 
degrees North Latitude.  There is no way for DX4WIN to know the heading 
to magnetic north from your particular QTH.  I am not aware of ANY 
program that can do this.

What DX4WIN should have, and I can't find it at the moment, is a way to 
program an offset into the rotator control.  Then if your antennas were 
aligned to magnetic North, DX4WIN could compensate for this. Maybe Guy 
ON4AOI knows if such a feature exists.
