If you are having any problems computing your distances, you might want 
to check out::

This is a logging spreadsheet for the 10 GHz and Up Cumulative Contest 
that automatically computes the distances from grid center to grid 
center for you.  However, it is not optimized for the 2 GHz and Up 
sprint, having no provisions for bands below 10 GHz nor the power 
multipliers.
