Internationalizing the QSL Mapper

QSL mapper now available in: Dutch German Spanish by Tjeerd PA3GNZ by Dieter DL2BQD by Juan EA5XQ Want to help translate it to your language? Read on! After communicating with Tjeerd, PA3GNZ, of the GQRP group and taking a look at his great Rockmite page , it occurred to me that it would be nice if the QSL Mapping gadget could automatically be displayed in the language of the gadget's user.

The New QSL Mapper

One of the fun traditions of ham radio is sending a QSL card to another station to confirm a contact. To do that, you need the address of the receiving station. It's also interesting to find out how far away the QTH, (location), of the station actually was, and operating QRP with the Rockmite, I'm always curious about what the miles per watt number for the contact was as well. The Copasetic Flow QSL mapper below shows all that information! Just enter your callsign, click 'Locate', then enter the callsign of the receiving station and click 'Locate' again. Both stations will be mapped and the distance between them and the watts per mile will be displayed! You can install this gadget on your own iGoogle home page, or on any web page by using the installer from Google .

This QSL mapper gadget displays the QSL address of any two callsigns and maps the distance between them. Just enter the callsign of the transmitting station and click the 'Locate' button under the 'Transmit Callsign' input field. Then, enter the callsign of the receiving station and click the corresponding 'Locate' button. The QSL addresses will be displayed and mapped. The distance between the two stations will also be displayed. To display the watts per mile figure for the QSO just input your transmitter power in watts before entering the callsigns, or once the callsigns are entered, you can update the power and simply re-click either of the 'Locate' buttons.
