[CQ-Contest] HFTA .PRN Help

[FritzOAQ]

I shud have been more clear since there's some confusion between the .PRN
and the .PRO files.

The .PRN is the one displayed as bars at the bottom of the chart that shows
the elevation angles of stations you're most likely to be receiving at the
given location.

Stu K6TU has kindly pointed out to me that the .PRN files are readable AND
show the QTH where the data was collected at the beginning of the file. DUH!

I just received my new ARRL Antenna Book and am having a ball using the HFTA
pgm on CD.

My stn is located in Southwest VA (specifically Dublin, VA) & I'm not sure
which .PRN file I shud be using.

I'm thinking the W4-KY files might be the closest to me. I assume the data
for these .PRN files are collected from a specific location.

Is there somewhere I can find the data collection points for these files?
