Yes you can. There are two things to consider. Just how accurate are those Lat/Lon coordinates? And, can you convert from hour/minute/second to decimal coordinates?
The first one, the accuracy part, just isn't all that accurate from what I've been able to see. It's close, but never absolutely accurate. The second part, converting coordinates, I have no idea which 'type' you'd need, or what QRZ is providing. You still may have to do that converting.

I just took the coordinates from qrz..and followed the example on the program, looks close enough. They have a beacon set up you can put them in , but the band<30 MTRS> is in such bad condx today, lucky anyone hears me, in fact all the bands are not up to condition, and according to the propagation report July is suppose to be the pits also.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
