Strays Add a Stray!
There used to be a rotator control program distributed by PDA (hosenose.com) that would look up countries by prefix and set your rotator in motion, if so desired, to the relevant heading. It was distributed as a free download, and if you needed rotator control, they would sell you a circuit board to implant in your control box for most Hygain models and some others. I had it, I lost it, and I would like to have it again! Any ideas??? kd7ds@arrl.net
