#Beam Heading

Beam heading is the compass direction from your station to the stations you worked, and distance tells you how far each contact was. Together they show which directions and which ranges your QSOs came from during a contest. This tag collects articles about reading heading and distance statistics, matching them with your antenna pattern and rotator habits, and finding directions that you neglected. The numbers make it easier to decide where to point a beam at a given hour and which antenna improvement would pay off most. It is a practical tag for operators who want to improve their antenna use, not just their score.
