I put the figures into G0GJV's Minos VHF logger: Thanks Dave! I initially assumed myself that no-one would be further than Tom and checked my log-book entry. I had IO80IU correctly noted, along with "1039km". Not sure where I got the 1039km from now! Checking with QRB/QTE gives me 1052.774km / 654.176 miles Checking Peter G3LDO's estimated IO90ST gives 1052.976 / 654.289 miles Peter's still best DX, by 200m! Cross checking with "WinGrid" gives Tom IO80IU = 655.3 miles and Peter's IO90ST = 655.5 miles. (WinGrid is American and only speaks 'miles'). Looks like there are some differences in the maths between the 3 progs we've used. Don't know what I used initially to work out Tom's 1039km...but it was evidently wrong!
