Hi Lee. Go to this web-site and download GeoClock.
http://www.clark.net/pub/bblake/geoclock/
It is a real neat program and one thing it lets you do is put the cursor 
on your qth and drag the mouse to where you want to check the miles, and 
it gives the miles on the bottom of the screen.  Really cool!!!
