Topband: Magnetic Variation

[K1ZM@aol.com]

Hi Gang

Does anyone know of a website or place where I can identify the magnetic 
variation of a given QTH from True North?

I need a source that will list this information globally - not just for North 
America.

Magnetic variation is the deviation from **true North** that one sees on a 
compass reading for due North.  Here in NY, for example, I think it is about 
13 degrees to the WEST of TRUE North.

This information can be very useful when siting a four square or a vertical 
array with a tight/narrow pattern.

Does anyone know of a website where I can PLUG IN latt/longitude coordinates 
and have the site "spit out" the variation in degrees?

Many thanks for the help.
