[aprssig] Q: What's the Omni DF Formula

[Steve Noskowicz]

Reading the spec, I see the PHG circle formula, but not the Omni DF circle formula.  Can anyone provide it?
I made an Excel spreadsheet with a nifty bubble chart and somewhat of a size approximation, but would like to use the formula that is (hopfully) determined by more than my (highly, of course) educated guesses.
