- ┌───┤ ~0BMaidenhead Grid Square Calculator~07 ├────┤ ~0BVersion 1.1 ~07├───┐
- │ │
- │ │
- │ The program GS represents a great deal of work - both │
- │ from a programming standpoint, to make it look pretty, │
- │ but also from the math standpoint. If you use the │
- │ program, or like it enough to keep it around, please │
- │ consider sending a $5 contribution to continue to see │
- │ Public Domain software programs published from our firm. │
- │ │
- │ The program is designed to assist VHFers who are chasing │
- │ those far-off grid squares, and need an accurate beam │
- │ heading as well as an idea of distance. Also, HFers can │
- │ use the program to calculate beam headings to far off │
- │ places. It is a little more inconvenient for the HFers │
- │ though, since most DXers don't pass along their Grid │
- │ Square during a QSO. If you are interested though, the │
- │ ARRL prints a nice World Grid Square locator which comes │
- │ in handy when doing heading and distance calculations │
- │ for DX locations. │
- │ │
- │ This program is written in Microsoft QuickBASIC and │
- │ Microsoft Macro Assembler. If the program does not │
- │ run on your machine, it is due to an incompatibility │
- │ with the Microsoft QuickBASIC run-time library and │
- │ there is not much we can do to correct that for you. │
- │ │
- │ There is a closing message from GS which mentions our │
- │ first commercially available product, The Jersey City │
- │ Keyer. It is an exceptional addition to your operating │
- │ environment in the shack. It can interfaced to both │
- │ your rig and a set of paddles (if you use paddles), │
- │ via a standard RS232 port. │
- │ │
- │ You may have seen our ads in either CQ or Radiosporting │
- │ magazine. Both are outstanding sources for operating │
- │ hams. In fact, Radiosporting ran a review of our keyer │
- │ in their November/December 1987 issue. It does a good │
- │ job of overviewing the features and functions. │
- │ │
- │ If you would like more than just words about The Jersey │
- │ City Keyer, we offer a demo disk that has a limited │
- │ functional program from an earlier version of the keyer. │
- │ We recommend that you purchase the demo if you are even │
- │ remotely interested in the product. The demo costs │
- │ ~8AONLY $5.00~07 to cover disk, mailer, and postage. │
