My logging program is homebrew so I will need to include the calculation if the proposal is adopted.

Every modern contest logging program I have seen calculates this distance
automatically, if you have told it your location.

The proposal includes distance in the scoring equation.  Does anyone know
the equation to calculate the distance between centers of 6 character grids?

Contest in May

Jay - Thanks for the heads up.

The draft contest proposal is here:

< est%20-%20General/UHF_and_Above_Contest_Proposed_Version_4_4b.pdf >

which has the details that are only hinted at in the ARRL Letter
announcement. Still reading it, but thought others would like to see it. -
