Feature request: show heading for callsign

[emcodem]

Hi dl8aau :)

Thanks a lot for this magnificent tool, very helpful! Do you accidently accept "good ideas" as feature request? E.g. we have the Call sign of another station and need to know the locator to find out directions (e.g. 330 deg)

In kst2me (if you know it) there was a context menu " Show heading " where you immediately saw 225° or wherever they were... but kst2me is unfortunately not maintained and not really useable anymore

[dl8aau]

wtKST displays the heading and distance (through the right button menu usually). Or do you want to have the most likely locator for a call (and then direction/distance)? That is currently possible through "/shloc " entered as text in the input line. Not so nice, but at least it works.

honestly for some reason it seems that the users that were asking me for this feature do/did not see the existing distance label in the context menu. I was asked to change the context menue to display CALL LOC (dist km, degree) in the context menue and they were happy. However, now we run a custom build of wtkst so i would like to ask if you can imagine doing the same in the main trunk.

Here is my git diff but i imagine you know already where i did what:

                     } else

I guess sending a pull request for such minor stuff would only cause headache...
