He might be representing the corner of a grid square, where other people may 
use the center of the grid square for their coordinate reference. Just 
guessing.

Not sure, David.

I have written to N3FJP himself about this, and will let everyone know if I
hear anything back.  It just seems strange that the default latitude and
longitude coordinates in the N3FJP software would be a full two degrees
different than what appears in other listings.

Subject: Interesting Problem With N3FJP Logging Software

Hi, again, everyone.



As  I configured the logging software for the Stew Perry 160-meter CW
contest, I noticed an interesting problem concerning the latitude and
longitude coordinates for my particular location.



Typically, I always list my latitude and longitude according to the figures
given on qrz.com.  For my home QTH, they were listed as  43.69 lattitude,
and 85.49 longitude.  When I checked these coordinates with Siri on my
iPhone, they were listed as 43.7 lattitude, and 85.48 longitude.



In the setup screen for the N3FJP logging software, my coordinates are 2
degrees off, both for latitude and longitude.  I can't remember specifics,
but they are approximately 41 degrees latitude, and 83 degrees longitude.



I'm hoping that the QRZ.com coordinates are the most accurate, because those
are the ones I am listing. . But, I'm curious as to why this discrepancy
might exist.



Any thoughts????
