spotcollect vs dxview grid for vk9xu


 

not sure why but if I type in vk9xu in to DXview it shows their grid as OH29 (heading of 334 degrees)
BUT
if I click on vk9xu in spotcollector it shows their grid as OC00 (heading of 185 degrees)
?
any ideas?
?
tnx Tim K9US

Where are you seeing OC00 in SpotCollector? I see DXGrid of OH29
which matches DXView (OH29mm) as well as the VK9XU entry on QRZ.com
(OH29tm).

any ideas?
The large difference in heading is because VK9X is very close to
the antipode for you and headings flop very wildly from E/W and
N/S around the antipode.

+ In the General panel on the General tab of SpotCollector's Configuration window, is the "Capture location info from notes" option enabled? If so, SpotCollector will give credence to any grid squares appearing in spot notes.
