If you use HRD you can make a map like that with the Export to Google Earth function. It's nifty.  Ok, for the life of me I can not find how to do this. I see the export but not to Google Earth. Edit: I see the Google Earth button, but it is greyed out. How do you make it hot? Edit 2: Got it. I was trying to export the file, not just click on the log entry, then look up |

ETA Got it! That's pretty sweet. I had been doing them one at a time: locate the call sign on QRZ, locate the place on Google Earth, placemarker, path from home. Now: select all in HRD logbook, right click, Lookup > Google Earth, Bam!

OK..... HRD log, high lite all entries in logbook, right-click LOOKUP, GOOGLE EARTH
and it looks like the screenshots posted above, except the map is centered off the coast of Africa, and all the lines converge there. Google Earth thinks I'm off the coast of Gabon ??? WTF EDIT.... like this 
EDIT.... Got it.

HRD log configure My station input your grid, Latitude/longitude, reboot Google earth Mine was off too, but not that much. It only had 4 digit grid and was about 30-40 miles away. Updated HRD to the 6 digit grid and it put it with a couple of miles (I live fairly close to the edge of a square). |

I managed to get my few contacts into HRD.
I have my QTH correct I select all contacts then right click and Lookup - Google Earth But only the one contact that I happen to Right Click over shows on GE (and the path shows) Regardless of which contact I Right Click over, the one I've clicked over at that time shows off the east coast of Africa. And only that contact shows ?? |

And only that contact shows ?? Yes same here. It is cool but want it to use my station information. Any other ideas ? Not sure what the questions are about QRZ ? That has nothing to do with G-Earth mapping my contacts. Suggestions 73- |

You also need to fully input everything into your DX contacts in HRD log
After i correctef my QTH in HRD, i still saw lines and callsigns running to a point off the coast of africa I wrote down those callsigns and updated my log by hitting the QRZ button....this gave google the locations it needs Now those DX contacts show up on the map correctly My logbook goes back 21 years, and not everything was filled out completely |
