Dear Rik, Lee, LF Group,
There are 2 database pages; the "old" and "new" format. You can get to the
"old" from the link at the bottom of the "new" database. The Old database
displays distance in miles and km, but not the bearing. Using the old web
page has the advantage that you can select the 2196/600m band option to show
all LF/MF activity, an option that is not on the new web page.
The error in distance is not just getting km and miles mixed up - the
database shows distance M0BMU > GM4SLV as 953km, which seems to be right,
but M0LMH > GM4SLV (definitely closer!) as 1127km, instead of 700km as it
ought to be.
The M0BMU beacon shut down at about 1000utc - thanks for all the reports
overnight.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
73 de M0BMU

That's the distance I worked it out at too.
But interestingly 434miles is 700km as Andy confirms.
My Locator is correct IO93gx Harrogate, North of Leeds.
Do you see km and miles Rik?
I have 1127km 700mi showing on John's spots.
Gary and I are within an hours drive.
Certainly not the case to IP90gg, how's the wine doing John?
Lee M0LMH.
