Spotted SP different than displayed antenna Azimuth

Post by KA4CDN »

I'm seeing a spot for OY1R. In the Cluster (F8), the SP is 36 and the LP is 216 yet the antenna Azimuth SP/LP displayed on the top of the main screen is 180/0. The later agrees with QRZ.com data.

The top one is from QRZ and the cluster is a path to center of country.

You will notice that US spots distance and bearing under the cluster will have no value you for you.

Also the example you are giving is OY1R who has a jacked up location.

Grid AA00aa is in Antarctica.

Try again with callsign OY1OF

That´s the result if hams try to made it´s location "safe" with a wrong locator. Better they leave
the locator field empty. Only then a logger has a chance to direct an antenna position to the middle
of the Country. If we have Antarctica set as locator it will show only 180/0 .....
