[NLRS] Distance Calculator

[John Kalenowsky]

Hi Rich and NLRSers,

There is a "Grid Distance Calculator" on the contest.arrl.org web site
under the "Clubs" selection in the Top Menu.

Direct link to it is: https://contest-clubs.arrl.org/griddistancecalc.php

There are a couple of options.

For "Measurement units":,I recommend "points (ARRL: km, always round up)"
which seems to be closest to the ARRL calculations used in this contest.

Then you have a choice of either "Distance from reference grid" or "Distance
between grid pairs".

For a fixed station - I recommend "Distance from reference grid" , put
>your< grid in as the reference grid, then just enter the grids of the
stations you worked in the text box below, one per line.

That also works for Rovers, just do it several times for each of 'your'
grids OR use the "Distance between grid pairs" where you enter TWO Grids on
each line in the text box.

Click the "Calculate Distances" button and the next page will list all of
the distances.

This doesn't take care of the Band Factors so you'll have to do some math
OR, since I think you (Rich) were 'only' on 432, where the Band Factor is
1...no 'math' will be needed.

73, JK
