I am a newbie to DX4win. Could someone please tell me if there is an advantage
to using an external database cd rom over qrz.com on the internet to pull up
names and addresses?
Thanks,

1. The CDROM data is better integrated into DX4WIN.
Using QRZ.COM takes too lookups vs one.
2. If the Internet is down, you're stuck!
3. By buying the data, you support the people who maintain it.
4. If you have the disk space, copy the CDROM data
to your hard drive, and lookups will be FAST.
You can open the F3 window and step from QSO to QSO
and the data is updated instantaneously.

Subject: [Dx4win] Integration with DX Atlas
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I wonder if Paul has considered the possibility of designing hooks into
DX4WIN so that it can integrate with VE3NEA's DXAtlas, Ionoscope and Band
Master (www.dxatlas.com)? DXAtlas's geographic information is much
superior to what can be displayed on the built-in mapping function, and the
Ionoscope's real-time propagation info via the Internet is really
slick. BandMaster provides a neat integration between DX cluster and radio
control with an elegant graphical bandmap. I realize that a lot of this
functionality overlaps and might conflict with DX4WIN, and that there may
also be problems with screen real estate, but since I think Alex works in
Delphi, it seems like a rather natural fit.
