[NLRS] The Palm / 10Ghz Operation

[Donn Baker]

Hi Bill,
Very glad that its working for you...  There are the greatest thing since
peanut butter!

Re: BD and such.  My opinion is that you REALLY want Rex Aller's Grid
Locator, and not BD.  (BD was a good first attempt, but GL is the way its
supposed to be!) GL supports "data bases" (actually memo files) of
locations, etc.; its actually easier to use; and MUCH more forgiving in
terms of users input errors, etc.  I think Rex's call is KK6MK.  Google
that, and find his site.  Its a short download.  I have a whole bunch of
memo files that I can send you with all of the sites we currently use (TC
metro, North Shore, etc.)

We'll talk....
