Topband: Dayton Top Band Dinner

[Craig Thompson]

Hello

The Google Earth presentation was made using the log from FT5ZM.

The log was first filtered for 160m QSOs. I had to add the grids to each
station. I did that by importing into DXKeeper...a module of DXLabs and
using the XML feed from QRZ.com to add the grid data.

The ADIF was exported and then imported into QScope.org Then it was
processed for a KML file and downloaded to my computer using the
Grid Locator KMZ
file<https://qscope.org/charts/k9ct_b67e2c55b0b33649f34c38e98af2597a/ft5zm-21/Locators.kmz>
If you have downloaded and installed Google Earth, you can just click on
the KMZ file to open the program.

You need to turn on the day/night function and then using the time lapse
control to move through the time lapse. You will not see the stations
worked unless you add some time delay. I usually use 1 to 2 hours. This
keeps the Stations indicated for a few seconds while running the time
lapse.

This was recorded using SnagIt software as a MP3 and then imported into the
PowerPoint Presentation software.

I will be showing this PPT at the W9DXCC in September. After that, I will
post the videos on YouTube for anyone to see.
