Bruce What an interesting question! As many of you know, I'm having fun porting the G3RUH's Plan13 algorithm to the Atmel platform. One of the first things you want to be able to do in programs like this is to convert degrees to radians; and that means pi. FWIW I used 32 bit accuracy

I have this rotor that has been part of a field day satellite antenna setup and need to sell for $375.00. I'm selling at this price because I've lost the connections that go to the rotors and believe you can buy them off the net. Shipping would be extra. Thanks Rick
