If you hadn't noticed, the webmaster at QRZ.COM has remodeled the site and
added some nice new features. To fully use the new site, you will need a
free account on QRZ.COM. This measure improves site security and allows
email addresses to be directly clickable.
In the remodeling process, however, my link from DX4Win to QRZ.COM broke.
The fix is really quite simple:
1. Go to the <F>ile, <P>references, "Ext Data" tab
2. In the "website callsign lookup" box, click "enabled"
3. Type HTTP://WWW.QRZ.COM/DB/ in both address fields
4. <F>ile, <P>references, Save Changes and Exit
This very handy DX4Win feature works after entering a callsign in the QSO
window and pressing the F-3 key. This opens a new window with any "local"
callsign data (perhaps you've installed the RAC callsign CD ROM). Pressing
the <Enter> key within that local data window will launch your browser and
take you directly to the QRZ.COM callsign record.
Another item that I use at QRZ.COM is the "mailing label" feature for
copy/pasting postal addresses on envelopes and into DX4Win's "QSL Mgr"
address field. Although it is not obvious, you can now access that screen by
simply clicking on the large callsign at the top of the QRZ.COM window.
Hope you find this information helpful,
