I built and installed a Rotor-EZ circuit box in my Ham III rotor box.  Works fine.  I then wrote a small Visual Basic program to control the rotor from the desktop.  I then put the software on my webpage http://www.qsl.net/k0bx/rotor.htm  in case anyone else would like to play with it.  Then last night I received a e-mail from a VE ham who said that he put the Rotor-EZ in his control box but that living up north he has the South Center Scale and my rotor control program points the wrong way.

So what I need is a equation that will translate the normal headings into heading for a south center scale of a ham IV rotor?   Anyone got any ideas??

Thanks Joe
