BEAM.EXE

Program to display the main lobe of an antenna beam on a locator map

 

 

Sceenshot I - Beam with an opening angle of  35 deg (3dB)

download (666kb):  beam.zip

 

To install the program: Unzip all files to an empty directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Beam\ ).

Start the application: Beam.exe.

 

Use it "as is" - with no guarantees for updates or improvements - they may or may not come depending on my priority of time!

Known bugs are: There may be a problem (garble on the screen) when the map includes one of the poles!

 

The program should run on any standard PC with Windows NT / 2000 / ME / 98 etc (tested on NT and 2000).

 

Default the program will come up with JO59FB as the center location, this may be changed by the user - and is automatically stored till the next time the program is started.

 

There is even a small user guide (Beam.doc (microsoft word format)) with the program - where all user selectable options are listed. All parameters are stored in the registry - for use the next time the program is started.

 

Good luck with the program - you may write me a few lines if you like it!
