QRZ page Callsign lookup

G0CUZ · Post by **G0CUZ** » Tue Nov 06, 2012 6:18 am

I have had reports that this is no longer functioning, I am on it and it should be fixed for next version release.

Unfortunately QRZ made some changes to the lookup function and I need to adjust some code for next version (5.8.2), no big deal, but nothing can be done with current version.

I should have made it clear that this post is referring to the QRZ Web page based lookup (F11) and menu/Callbooks/Internet - Lookup@QRZ.
The subscription and CD API should still be OK.

Indeed, the ''loockup @ QRZ.COM'' does not work any longer on 5.7.4
Thanks Colin for great Job.

Hi all,

I just got the following message in the "QRZ callbook online" window:

Message from QRZ Online
A subscription is required to access the complete record.
NOTICE: QRZ XML server has moved. This server will be discontinued
on 12/31/2012. Please use http://xmldata.qrz.com

I hope that will not cause a problem in future. I really like this feature.

Hi Gerald

Thanks for pointing this out.

QRZ had notified me of the server change, however I understood that the present address would continue with a re-direct, apparently not so.

I have changed the url and I will release another version with this change before the end of the year.

F11 qrz.com lookup does not work again...

Checked myself this morning and is not working AGAIN!

Yet another parameter change at QRZ.COM, I will fix this in WInlog32 shortly.

I will add that if they make one more change to this lookup parameter I will DISCONTINUE this feature - I (we) can do without this hassle! when there are better services available.

Yes, I do agree with you Colin. It's really irritating to see changes so often that you can't even follow them. But, you know, I think that qrz.com lookups are a lot to look at compared to others (it's just my opinion).
