Calculate the great circle distance and the beam bearing
from your station to JS6SHS (or to any other station)

Enter your own station location
Latitude Degrees Minutes
Longitude Degrees Minutes (default: N America *)
JS6SHS's station location (preset) - overwrite for other station
Latitude Degrees Minutes
Longitude Degrees Minutes (default: E Asia)
   

(To see the preset values for JS6SHS re-entered, use the "relolad" button of your browser.)

Calculated Results
Distance km   ( nautical miles or US miles)
Beam Bearing degrees
Note (*): This calculator is most convenient if you are located in N America,
S America north of the equator, or Europe west of the Greenwich Meridian

Switch to "Europe default"                     Switch to "Down-under default"                     Switch to "S America default"

Note 1: This calulator does not accept latitude values higher than 89 degrees.

Note 2: The distance calculation does not work for locations very close to your antipode.

Note 3: The antenna bearing will rarely have any practical value if the other station is located
on the opposite side of the globe (near your antipode).
