[DXBase] Problem with Lat, Long, Callsign in Summary

[Jack]

Tom,

The comments from Bill and Tony are both correct.  In the summary window, if
you are entering a call with the category type of HF Country, then you are
getting a heading computed to the center of the US.  If you want a beam
heading to a specific State, then change the category to HF States and then
enter the two letter abv for the State.  If you want a beam heading to a
specific callsign, then enter it in the log, press tab.  If the lat/lon for
that call are on the CD you are using DXbase will use it.  If not, then it
will use a default to center of the country.  To cancel the entry you put in
the log, press the ESC key.

Jack
