Jeremy,
I seem to remember that you are using an NC - 2 Tamaya navigational calculator. If the LOP function on the NC -2 displays azimuths in degrees and minutes (like the NC-77) then the navigator can be tricked into misreading 000.55 on the display as half a degree instead of 000.92 degrees. I have made this mistake many times. My Palm program displays azimuths in degrees and tenths which I like better. This could be the source of your amplitude /azimuth discrepancy.
