OE calls = Finland ? & locator squares.

I have seen OE calls coming through the cluster as Finland, OE7LVI.
tried it as a callsign to enter in my log, F2 info gives it as Finland, yet QRZ says Austria.

Also notice, i am having to manually enter locator squares on a frequent basis when operating on 6 & 4 metres.

All databases are updated, as far as i can see.

Are you a paid subscriber to QRZ because unless you are and only if you are logged in for lookup will you get a locator returned.

Otherwise use HanQTH

Make sure that you have the latest country file by downloading it manually

It appears that Phil is correct, OE is resolving as Finland. I've checked the country file and it is proper and correct.

Why this is happening is a good question. Maybe a bug??????? :oops:

I did find an error in the country file and have issued an update to correct the OE issue. The updated country file date is Aug 02,2013.

It was my error as a period (.) was missing in the definition.

Nice find Phil and thanks for the alert.

Did you check the calls in question with the QRZ website to see if there was a locator shown.

There is no reason that 6 & 4 meters entries should do the lookup different to any other band.
