I mean you said you could duplicate the issue as well?

Your grid is close (Spot Sim) but not right.
Hi
Slightly off topic, how can I activate the option to see "[QSL BUREAU]" that appears on the image above "[QRZ.COM]"?

Nowhere, the user must have stored that at any external service like HamQTH or qrz.com that
Log4OM can find this information. Most users don´t store this anywhere so the "QSL Bureau"
pops up very rare ...

You may testing with the call DL0AK and it should be there ... ;) ;)

Hi
Tks for the fast reply.
It doesn't show nothing of the QSL BUREAU...

And I still haven't found if there is any topic for an issue of wrong azimuth and no grid autocomplete, If I'm in a QSO with CT2IMG (we are 4km away) it says that he is 188km on azimuth 190º. If I insert myself, it's the same. CT2HRE, CT2ITD, CT2HTM (witch is north of my position) all the Portuguese stations that i've worked, they all live in the same place, 188km away on azimuth 190º. We all have the correct grid inserted on QRZ.com. For exemple, from my QTH to CT2HTM I should point my antenna to 4.7º (as indicated on QRZ.com) instead of the 190º indicated on Log4OM. If you know how to solve this issue or a better place to post this, let me know, please.

Hi
Related with "QSL BUREAU" info understood you mean "QRZ - Data, including the image, is only available for paid XML subscribers.". Ok, Tks.

What about de wrong azimuth, it's the same? QRZ.com only gives grid location to paid XML subscribers?

Tks

Correct and correct, suggest you use HAMQTH if you don't want to pay for a QRZ XML subscription

Tks for the sugestion.

I tried and I really get the right grid but only for the callsigns registered in HamQTH, make sense.
But, if I set HamQTH as primary source, I will loose the quick access to those how don't have HamQTH and have QRZ.com and it looks like the vast majority has QRZ.com only.

Any way, unless I'm doing something wrong, I suggest a sequence of priorities. Like, if the callsign has info on HamQTH show it, if not, check QRZ.com. And show all the quick links for QRZ.com and HamQTH profile page.

Tks for the great job that Log4OM does.

Bruno,

You can set that request up yourself. Go to: Settings / Configuration / Software Configuration / Info Providers ... You can select your primary and failsale sources there. I've attached a screen clip of my settings below for that item.

As noted, however, you have to have at least an XML Membership with QRZ to get granular data.

Hi Nolan

Understood your suggestion, but what I would like to have is:
-have the right grid and azimuth from my station to the objective station without paying a XML sub. OK, HamQTH do the job if the other station have HamQTH profile, nice. But, for sure most Hams have profile on QRZ.com and don't have on HamQTH. If there's no profile on QRZ.com it won't have on HAMQTH (my personal felling).
-have a quick link to QRZ.com profile page as HamQTH profile page simultaneously, now we can only have from the primary source, if there's info. If we change the primary source to QRZ.com we won't get the grid and azimuth from HamQTH. You can see it bellow:

I would like to have both links, is it possible?

Bruno.
Doing what you ask would slow the lookup down dramatically and most people that wont/cant pay the dollars for QRZ find HamQTH is adequate.
