Hi Bill:
Interesting. The almost identical distances to VU4 from your QTH would
suggest they're at your antipode, but they're at 8 degrees north latitude
and you're also in Northern Hemisphere, obviously. The antipode should be a
lot further south from VU4 but at the same longitude. Wonder if this is
because the Earth isn't totally round ?
