Hi gang,



I have a 3 element 40 meter parasitic vertical array. The radiation patterns on 
this system are controlled by a series of matching networks, switched by 
mechanical relays. The switchbox is in my shack.

 

I would like to activate the available patterns from either Writelog or N1MM 
buy sensing the calculated beam heading for each country as it is entered into 
the QSO entry field.

 

Both programs will display the short path route to a DXCC entity. Any ideas on 
how I could access this heading information to activate relays?

 

For example: A heading of

0 to 90 degrees = pattern 1 

91 – 180 = Omni pattern

181 – 270 = pattern 2
