hi joe.
you are living near the border between EN43 and EN53 grid. square.
After i got your comment i found out, that the qrb applet added an offset
of 1/24 th degree to all coordinates. That Offset moved you from EN43 to
EN53 square. sorry.

I have a question about your QRB.
I live in Mississippi and have been through Winona. It is shown on your detailed
US map. It is only a little stop on the road. Why did you show that and not
New Orleans?

when i started the qrb applet, i had two detailed maps: europe and germany
which i had created for myself because i live there.
since the page access counters indicates that about 30 percent of accesses
came from the "non-detailed north america" map i decided to create a "detailed
usa" map.
i have a database of the 2000 most important cities in the world including
many cities in the usa . whe i put them into a map and zoomed to usa the
result usa map was overcrowded with cities. :-( so i decided to take as many
usa cities off the map until i found the result ok.unfortunately the string
"New Orleans" overlaps "Savannah" so i removed New Orleans from the
map.
since "Winona" is in my database and its string in the map does not collide
with any other city it has not been removed. :-(
may be there is an other winona in the world and i typed the coordinates
of the wrong winona into the database :-)
because recreating the detailed usa map would require about 90 minutes time
of work i decided not to change the map ....

[The QRB-Applet ... ] seem to be SP (short path direction) until I reach
a position greater than 180 degrees in longitude is between myself and
the other location. At this point, only the LP (=longpath) distance and bearing is
indicated.

thanks jim. you found a bug in the applet that i copied from my first
qrb-turbo-pascal program written in 1989 :-(.
because of your the precise bug-description it was easy to find and remove the bug.
thanks again.

comment:
There are no calc forms to type in, maps do not show QTH
on status line. Sounds like a great idea.

I got the message:

thanks tony, thanks anonymous.
I changed the inter-applet-communication between the map
and the form that is neccessary to exchange grid-locations.
I hope that this version is ok for SunOS-Netscape, too
Problemstatus: fixed for MSIE4.0, not testet with SunOS-Netscape 3.01
