Hi John,
The best Gray Line Map program for the Mac is called 'SunTimer' by HB9CEY
(author of MacContest too).
It is a shareware ($5 or $10 but I don't remember exactly) that I'm using
before (list printed) and during the contest. It is very nice for only
165 KO !. You can see the gray line map, opening windows in real time,
bearing, distances... and you can edit some interesting list of SR/SS...
for different locations and/or different dates.
I don't know HB9CEY e-mail adress (does he get any ?) but you can write
to : Gerald Eberle, Box 13, CH-4417 Ziefen, Switzerland.
Good luck and 73, TK5NN Patrick
