M04 - what does the Wizard call re Freelance Mother's 050 to 080 mean?

[imacken]

Wizard calls 'Freelance Mother's 050 to 080. 80 miles out'.  I assumed that meant taking a course of say 65 (mid point of 50 and 80) from Mother, i.e. WP0, and going 80 miles out from the WP.

Obviously, this is wrong, as that takes me nowhere useful.

What is the correct interpretation of that call?

Hey imacken. You should patrol the area in a cone between 050 and 080 up to 80 miles away from Mother. This is your sector in which you should report any contacts you find by flying over them (preferably low at around 500 feet). I think it is described in the readme file, and if that is not the case - I should definitely add it!

Got you! Thanks BD.
