3-1.             DISTANCE AND BEARING

In addition to your beam heading to a DXCC country, it’s nice to know the distance between you and the DX. It makes a nice brag tape that you worked Bhutan with 100 milliwatts knowing that it is 10,000 km away at 295 degrees true!! Several programs or web sites are available to determine distance and bearing. These include:
