Hi All

VK3UM EME Planner 2007 ... minor changes to location list, additional 
Com Ports and Time Zone bug fixed.

VK3UM EMR Calculator.(covers 1.8MHz-48GHz) .. Ver 6:0  a major re 
write and re design, including;
     - integration of Circular aperture Graph calculations (was a 
separate program)
     - simple to use visual display of user adjustable Tower Height 
to give Exclusion Zone.
     - added common commercial antennae selection. (as per EMECalc)
     - updated basic system performance calculator. (not all options 
are available as per EMECalc)
     - added JT441 and JT65 transmission mode factors.
     - selectable yagi dBi / dBd option included.

VK3UM EME Calculator Ver 3:03  .. minor 'tweaking' of sky noise and 
additional station example files.

Over the previous few months there have been many postings, on the 
various reflectors, asking questions relating to
what to expect with this and that configuration, what is the polarity 
off set, when is it aligned, what is best and at what time, what Sun and Moon
noise should I get, what is the Sky temperature etc etc. (and the 
never asked question .. am I cooking my neighbour?)

... well the above packages will answer all these questions and a lot 
lot more !  ... That's why I wrote them!

They can be down loaded from 
http://www.sm2cew.com/    or 
http://www.ve1alq.com/downloads/software/vk3um.htm or 
http://www.qsl.net/vk3bez/

(Please check Version numbers, as indicated above, as there may be 
some minor delays .. or hic ups)

Regards
Doug  (VK3UM)
