Narrative:

Radar vector to join V26. (Between auw and eau). We were about 15 mi west of auw on a northwest heading to join V26. I tuned eau and set 267 degrees for course. Joined V26 and was told by center I was 2 mi south of course. Given northwest heading to avoid falls 2 MOA. Checking navigation chart, I found V26 was 271 degree radial auw and 087 degree radial eau. Should have tuned auw 271 degree as I was closer to auw.

Title: VERY SLIGHT TRACK DEV.

Narrative: RADAR VECTOR TO JOIN V26. (BTWN AUW AND EAU). WE WERE ABOUT 15 MI W OF AUW ON A NW HDG TO JOIN V26. I TUNED EAU AND SET 267 DEGS FOR COURSE. JOINED V26 AND WAS TOLD BY CTR I WAS 2 MI S OF COURSE. GIVEN NW HDG TO AVOID FALLS 2 MOA. CHKING NAV CHART, I FOUND V26 WAS 271 DEG RADIAL AUW AND 087 DEG RADIAL EAU. SHOULD HAVE TUNED AUW 271 DEG AS I WAS CLOSER TO AUW.
