Yet another update...

Thanks to SouthFloridawx for pointing out an error with the Google HDOB function, regarding the labels. It's fixed now.

Anyway, v2.0.5 is now up.

You can find the decoder at the bottom of http://tropicalupdates.nhcwx.com/recon.htm

With an aircraft scheduled to depart St. Croix to fix 03L and one to depart Tampa for an upper-level surveillance on 03L, plus another aircraft to depart Biloxi for an investigation on 90L...

...it's time to check out my Recon Decoder for Excel.

Check out the initial post in this thread for the links.

I've received a couple of messages about this... I wanted to clear it up:

After you've downloaded both ReconExcel and the Geofunc application...

Open up ReconExcel. Then open Geofunc. Excel will load Geofunc's abilities into ReconExcel, allowing for bearing and distance functions to work.

Loading up Geofunc will also tell you how far the plane, as well as the storm's center (in VDMs) is from a given city.

It also clears up the #NAME issue.

If the recon crews are using the old format still (like they were for Andrea and Barry), then yes. Otherwise, no--it won't work.

Yes, the link does not work anymore. It was dropped during the server change this past winter.
