Using QRZ LookUp

Using QRZ
If you left click a call in the cluster, then select Lookup (Call Sign) from QRZ it will open a new browser window and open QRZ. This is a rather slow way to use the QRZ lookup.
I have found that by left a click on the call sign in the cluster and selecting send to log, you can then use the QRZ lookup from Menu – Database - Call book Int – LookUp@QRZ.com. This then opens a QRZ window which you can size. Initialy this takes a short time
Leave the QRZ window open, the next time that you click on the Winlog32 window it will disappear. It has only lost the focus and is still loaded behind the Winlog32 window.
Now, if you left click on a call in the cluster list and right click and select send to log, you can then use the option for QRZ from Menu – Database - Call book Int – LookUp@QRZ.com. This will reactivate the hidden QRZ window and populate the details of the call sign you have added very much quicker. If you type in the call sign your self you have to press enter to place the call into the log and then you can do the search from Menu – Database - Call book Int – LookUp@QRZ.com. You resize and move the QRZ window to suit your own preference using the normal windows resizing and moving methods.
I am registered with QRZ but have not subscribed, but I can live with the adverts and you can lose some by adjusting the size of the window.
Hope some of you find this useful. I like to know who I am talking to asap and this way is very quick.
I am hoping Colin can give an option on the Menu – Database - Call book Int – LookUp@QRZ.com to automatically run the search as you enter the call. Obviously this would need to be a selectable option for those that do not want to use QRZ.
