-The ASTER mapping data is available after registration with NASA [https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C197265171-LPDAAC_ECS&q=aster&ok=aster on this website]. Tiles of mapping are available for each degree of longitude and lattitude - east or west of the Greenwich Meridian. A typical search string for England and Wales of *N52E00* and N52E00* will give an available range of land tiles for the latitude. 5GB of data may be downloaded for N48 to N56 Northern France to Southern Scotland quite easily. The Sites.dat file is a strength of the program to easily enter repeaters, QTH and hill sites for Rx and Tx sites. It's relatively easy to add positions of further hill tops and friends QTHs using positions from Google Earth or e.g. Hillbagging.co.uk to the sites.dat file
