Using the geographic coordinates for each, I've "translated" the FCC
procedure for determining the distance between two transmitters ( per FCC
73.208) into Excel formulas. Excel gives identical distance results to the
"fill-in" form provided in www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/distance.html . But
there is no comparable formula in the FCC R&R for determining the bearing
(azimuth) between the stations relative to true north, although the FCC's
fill-in form does provide azimuth.
My problem with using the fill-in form is that I have hundreds of
computations to make and I'd spend untold hours using the fill-in form for
one pair of stations at a time. If I can get a formula for determining the
azimuth relative to true north based on the geographic coordinate pairs, I
can whip this puppy in no time at all with Excel.
Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
PJF
