Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Frequency/distance search engine

Hi Kenneth,

You first need to register for a free account:

http://www.mwlist.org/ul_register.php?sprache=en

Once you have been approved feel welcome to contact me off the list and
I can walk you through the first steps of setting up a receiving
location (from where distances are calculated).  It's not the most
intuitive interface when first getting started, but once setup, it's a
valuable tool and easy to navigate.  Also, you will occasionally come
across some outdated call letters, but Günter usually responds quickly
if you alert him and he will update the database with the correct
information.

Here's a sample screenshot of the interface showing the stations listed
on 1450 kHz, sorted closest to most distant from my listening location:

As you log stations, those stations become highlighted in yellow to let
you know which ones you have already logged.  Also notice the azimuth
column that you can use to sort stations - another nice feature.  All of
your logs can be graphically displayed on a map too.  These are new
stations that I logged last night.  These get automatically displayed on
the DX map:
