Give  your grid square in the "contest setting" dialog window (the window

operate,  etc).




Oliver,
 
Thanks for telling me to fill in the LOCATOR in the Contest Configuration  
window.  I am assuming that this then registers my home QTH so that the  azimuth 
is correctly calculated for the Band Map.  Is that  correct?
 
I would like to suggest that the HELP file be more explicit about the  need 
for the LOCATOR information.  HELP currently says "LOCATOR -  only required in 
contests in which you give your locator as part of the  exchange.  This must 
be filled in with a complete locator (ex.  JN18EV)."  If the LOCATOR is also 
being used by WT to locate the  home QTH for azimuth purposes, the HELP should 
say so.
 
I am going to be using WT from a dxpedition location, so having my  dx QTH's 
latitude/longitude correctly recorded in WT is critical.
 
Tnx, Geo...
