    Distance to all stations shows 5000 miles
    Possible database issue?
    Thanks

    I believe this is related to the fact that you have never set your grid square so it is set at the default of JJ00aa at 0-degrees latitude and 0-degrees longitude. Once you set your correct grid square in your record, it should start computing the accurate distances.

    Your location seems to be latitude 0, longitude 0.

    Could that be an issue?

    FN34lv is your grid square, in case you don't know.
