i red the article on repeating azimuth's--is that speaking of the back azimuth,or does it mead something different.thanks for your help --------------tenclaw
The back azimuth is the 180 degree reversal of the forward or given azimuth.
(at least that is what I learned)
I find it best to cover both directions, especially when dealing with KGC sites.
If the compass reading is 0 to 180 degrees, you add 180 to that reading to get the back course. If the reading is over 180, you subtract 180 for the back course. Jim
