OK. I sure wouldn't want to set lat and long every time I start the
program. I put them in the config file along with everything else I can
think of. But using either at the call entry lets you see the current
values of both - useful.

With the cntrl-F10, the beam heading was displayed on the bottom of the
main window (and commands the rotor). This does not happen with a non-DX
contest.. Maybe it should be supressed if it's value is probably wrong.
(You can _type_ an angle and use cntrl-F10 to command a rotor change).

I knew that. I was posing a general question, though. However, Vancouver
and North Carolina are about 90 deg apart.

...so many ways, so little time,
