In 1984 when I got my instrument ticket, I was taught to use FROM when identifying crossing radials. I don't know if that is a standard practice or simply my instructor's way of doing it. In October's Killer Quiz, "Gone to the Dogs," you are identifying PLAZA via TO the 173-de-gree radial. My way would have been to dial in 353 and use a FROM indication. At the top of the second column on page 12 it also states "...so you dial a radial from SFO to verify PLAZA." Again it appears the radial dialed in is TO, not FROM. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this.Identifying a radial is equally accurate with a TO or a FROM indication. You're correct that the panel setup in the KQ uses TO in both cases. Which you use is a matter of your training, your comfort and your ability to do the mental gymnastics to convert the numbers. If using FROM works for you, keep doing it.
