Phil, Most ( if not all ) of the internet web sites that provide ham oriented address info also claim explicit copyright to the data they provide. Without written permission from each author, such use of the data by a third party commercial product such as DXbase could lead to copyright infringement issues. We have our asked our attorney about this topic in the past and have been advised to stay away from this unless the web sites involved grant explicit and irrevokable permission for this type of integration. None have been willing to do so. Therefore, this kind of integration is not likely in DXbase under those circumstances.

Since a lot of operators and dx expeditions over even regular stations update their adress info most of the time on the internet servers FIRST, I guess this is the most accurate info for storing into DXBase. I also (and many others) use a cdrom, but info sometimes gets old, has been changed but not updated, etc... Therefore this request : In future versions/updates could you make it possible to auto-populate info pulled from the internet based on the choise of servers (like qrz.com f.e.). It then can be prossesed quickly for labels, printing, storing, ect... for : adress info manager info iota info grid info thanks in advance Phil ON4VP --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
