Distance window..886 miles on most QSOS

Post by w0xxx »

Hi and thanks for reading....

Recently, my QSO distance for any USA based contact is automatically entered at 886 miles.

Where can I correct it?

Thanks in advance!

Check the locator square when you enter the call sign, and whether it shows a valid QRZ.com (or QTH) lookup.

By default, you are likely to be seeing your distance and bearing from the capital... in my case it’s London with square IO91vl, for those who haven’t updated their QRZ entry.

Or if your not receiving the locator from QRZ because you don't have a PAID subscription

Ok, I renewed my subscription with QRZ, and the same symptoms exist. The map shows the same location on every domestic QSO, and logs the distance as 886 miles....it worked in the past....international map locations and distances are correct.

Information in the setting/station info is correct.

Setting section 1 info with QRZ is also correct.

I apologize but I'm running version 1. I may have posted this in the wrong section.

It's working now.....I guess it takes a couple of days after subscribing to QRZ for the QSL service to start working.
