Yes you can. There are two things to consider. Just how accurate are those Lat/Lon coordinates? And, can you convert from hour/minute/second to decimal coordinates?
The first one, the accuracy part, just isn't all that accurate from what I've been able to see. It's close, but never absolutely accurate. The second part, converting coordinates, I have no idea which 'type' you'd need, or what QRZ is providing. You still may have to do that converting.

I just took the coordinates from qrz..and followed the example on the program, looks close enough. They have a beacon set up you can put them in , but the band<30 MTRS> is in such bad condx today, lucky anyone hears me, in fact all the bands are not up to condition, and according to the propagation report July is suppose to be the pits also.
