    "content": "Hi Ron,\n\nThat's a nice tool but it is a pity that it requires people to have Python\ninstalled, as this is beyond what most people do with their computers.\nI decided to make it more accessible by writing something similar in Python\nthat runs in Windows, has a decent-enough GUI. It requires only that the\nfiles be extracted using a self-extracting archive and then running the\nkg2c_vucc.exe application.\nI've compiled it using 64bit Windows 10, so it won't work for 32bit Windows\noperating systems. If there's any interest I can see about compiling it for\n32bit Windows.\nIt can be downloaded from https://goo.gl/dc7948\nBtw I used your haversine(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) function so distance\ncalculations will be the same.\n\nBest wishes,\nMilen KG2C\n\nOn Sat, Jul 14, 2018 at 8:45 PM, Ron Bondy via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> I have written a software tool in Python for determining if a set of local\n> rover locations (specified in decimal degrees latitude and longitude) are\n> all within 200km of each other.  I used this for myself to determine which\n> of my local roving locations were within my 200km VUCC circle.\n> The script uses the Haversine method for determining the distance between\n> two locations on the earths surface, assuming the earth has a constant\n> radius.  References are given in the readme.txt file provided below in the\n> DropBox folder.\n> It's a good planning tool too; if I'm going to go roving to a new local\n> spot then I'd prefer to rove to a location within my VUCC circle so my\n> contacts count toward my VUCC award totals.\n> This is a Python script that is run from the command line, so I'm sorry\n> but there is no user interface.  If you're not sure what the command line\n> is and you've never heard of the Python programming language this software\n> tool is probably not for you.\n> You can download the files here:\n> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xkvbaj41060h4vy/AAC0n_D3uDAjEgWwcwxxxjnba?dl=0\n>\n> The DropBox folder contains the Python script, along with\n> ad0dx_vucc_circle.txt, the file with my roving locations to give you an\n> example of how to use the script.\n> A readme.txt file is provided to give some more background and also a\n> results file with the results from using the script on my roving locations\n> file.  You could examine the results file to determine if you think this\n> Python script might be useful to you.\n> Another great application is to put all your local WalMart's in the file\n> to confirm if those WMPLOTA locations count toward your VUCC totals.\n> Currently only latitude and longitude in decimal degrees are supported for\n> locations.\n> I haven't actually found the center of my own VUCC cirle at this point,\n> but the tool has let me confirm and investigate all the locations I use for\n> roving.  It turns out for me that the DM68 69 78 79 four corner grid is in\n> my circle as well as the location I operate from on the DM 88 89 grid\n> line.  My qth is in DM78 and is close to 39N latitude so DM79 is just a few\n> miles north of me.  The tool has shown me that I can also include DM77 in\n> my VUCC circle, so that gives me a lot of options for roaming and counting\n> grids towards my VUCC award.\n> If you have any questions or comments please contact me off list at ad0dx\n> at yahoo dot com.\n> Thanks and 73's,\n> Ron, ad0dx\n>\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
