Ship speed calculator

Hi. I created a little calculator in Microsoft excel that could help about speed estimation. Basicaly, you have to determine AOB, then use the stop watch and notice the change of the targets bearing in time (I usually measure in what time did the bearing of the target change for 5 degrees). AFTER that you quickly determine range (I repeat, you determine range at the end of this measuring, and AOB in the begining), then input those values, and you have your speed

I would like you to try and test this calculator, and tell me your impressions. I would be very happy if my "program" may be of use to you people

.
Cheers

This is the program's location:

P.S. I still have SH4 without patches so my program is in metric sistem. That is fine by me BTW. If there are people that are interested in this, I could make "imperial" version of it.
