 Hi Chet,

I use the W3KM logger and it has the grid locator built in but you must have 
the 6digit grid. I find it very helpful on all bands, especially 1296 and 
up. Even on the other bands when you hear a weak station, searching by 
peaking the beam is too time consuming but sometimes necessary. I keep QRZ 
open and if necessary, get 6 digit from there. I will try the Wingrid pogram 
for standalone and see how that performs.I have not perfected following the 
rovers. Congrads on moving up to 432, I am sure we will kill each other 
hihi. I received the 10ghz transverter and dish but the WX got here before 
the demi. I will build it up for next June. Might even try some roving when 
it is built. Right now I am fixed station on 6m-2304.

73's
