Geog.zip
Geog is a suite of programs written by
Andy Talbot ( G4JNT ), some of which make reference to a database of UK
terrain heights, to provide useful information for radio amateurs (and
others interested in point-point working, i.e. laser communications?) The
suite consists of the following programs:-
| SITECALC |
Site database, distance,
bearings |
| LOCATION |
Location system conversions
and distance / bearing |
| PLSITES |
Plot site database |
| PATHPLOT |
Map of paths worked between
many sites |
| WORLD |
Worldwide Locators and

| GTCIRCLE |

| GRIDS |
NGR and Locator squares |
| GETSITE |
Quick site database access |
|
| SPOTHGT |
Spot height for any given
site |
| TROPPATH |
Troposcatter loss for two
sites |
| TERRAIN |

| LOCALMAP |

| 3DMAP |

| SHOWMAP |

The programs were written for a DOS environment,
but I have had no problems at all running them in Win95 (OSR2) or
WinNT(ver.4.0). You will need PKUNZIP or WINZIP to open the download file.
