To determine the distances, the Vincenti formula was used, since it gives a more accurate result. To calculate this method in the PERL program, module Geo was used: Distance. Coordinates were taken from the gridsquare and my gridsquare fields of the logs sent. If there were no locator data in the log, their values were taken from the file call3.txt, which is used in the JTDX program.

Below are the tables with the results. Thank you all and welcome to participate on November 4-6 in the Days of Activity "Planet DIGIRADIO»! See you on the air, 73!
