I think that it would be pointless running the program on flat ground.
No-one has ever been able to help me run the program with real data even
though they offered to try, so I just had to guess when putting up my tower.
It seems to me that this program is overrated and a waste of time since very
people can actually make it work. Finding the coordinates of my tower is the
easy part.
Sorry for the rant but I am so frustrated with this program and the lack of
any useful instructions on how to use it. Another half baked good idea in
my book.. I put my beam at 87 1/2 feet and just worked DX.
