    If I recall the azimuth calculations have been a millstone around your
    neck for quite a while now. As much as you love your old calculator, it
    might be time to test against something like a Texas Instruments
    TI-30XA. Three memories, easy to operate, and only $10.
    
    Another more immediate sanity check is using the arctan formula to
    calculate Z/Zn directly without the need for Hc
    
    This was discussed on the list in October of 2005. George H. wrote a
    description that is available at:

    Keep at it until you can shout "Eureka."
