Distance display

Post by f1fly »

Hi

I can't display distance in km or miles.

I have installed Log4om several months ago and it displayed the distances correctly.

Today I add some new QSO in the log and he distances are not displayed.

I have changed nothing in the setup.

What's wrong ?

Hi Eric, where do you download informations about stations details and locator of the logged station ??? The free way by hamqth.com or as a payed xml subscriber of qrz.com ???? If not a xml subscriber you don´t got all informations from qrz.com and the distance to the middle of the worked country would be used. The same result you will have if the worked stations don´t stored the correct locator at qrz.com or hamqth.com ....

I checked some distances with well known stations and all is looking fine here. No problems with a wrong distance when the user data are correct. I filled in your callsign in my Log and hamqth shows me the grid IN99GA for you. If that´s correct the show´n distance of 715,1 km should be correct. If that´s youré correct gridsquare you may try a crosscheck with my call .... My locator (JO30sq) is o.k. at all online databases.
