Thanks Paul for Good advice... I found Microdem rather cumbersome to
install & set up and was not particularly intuitive to use...

> The good news is that there is
FREE detailed terrain data available via download for most all of the
continental US available from the USGS, as well as a nifty Freeware program
called Microdem..."
K6TU now offers a free automated service that produces terrain radials in
1-degree increments in NED 1/3 arc-second resolution. He has taken more
than 90% of the work out of the process. In fact, neither map data imports
nor Microdem is needed, only HFTA.
http://k6tu.net
After free registration, click on "NEW," then "TERRAIN ANALYSIS REQUEST."
The a link to the result is sent via e-mail. Extract into a folder, start
HFTA, then tell HFTA the location of the files. Done.
You're now an HFTA power user.
Paul, W9AC
