Callsign locator

[KD0ZV]

I went through my last 10 QSO's and and compared it with my primary info provider. All were correct.

So what is different about my setup? 90% of mine are incorrect.

Latest spot below.

Sorry my fault, I missed the part where you said the problem is with the cluster info...

I can duplicate that, tested with cluster simulation and I do get wrong Grid info displayed in cluster window.

The cluster is an engine to receive spots. Cluster is not there to correct wrong spots from spotters.
What you see in the main UI are the real informations from the external service u use in fact. If
a spotter have the possibility to spot a grid he can do it and it will be spottet overall the clusters.
Must it be real ? Not really ...

Juergen there is no grid info in cluster spots. You can test the behaviour with cluster spot simulation.

Only as example. I´m a user of a website which providing also spots above 30 MHz. If i send a spot i go
into the side and i have the possibility to send also a locator which is not provided by any external
serviecs

Juergen I was going to use you as an example and do a test spot using Log4OM spot simulation but noticed your call does not work on QRZ.com

Can you opt out of that somehow?

Juergen with Spot Simulator there is no way to ingest a grid locator. Also if you look at the spots from VE7CC there is no grid info.

You can test the wrong grid reporting easily with Spot Simulator Juergen.

Hi Rich, when qrz.com changed to payed XML subscriptions and when they do some secutity options i have deleted
my account for DF5WW and DL0AK (our club station) ... Meanwhile i´m only on free services like HamQTH.
Don´t like it that users have to pay for informations that they have to updating itself ...
