This is most sad to hear. I did not know that the this info was copywrited and forbidden to use. Jack, you should tell those people that DXBase provides a link to their pages to lookup the info on thier pages, so they get a lot of extra hits, I for example use this feature many many times whil making QSO's. I like to track info, pictures and so on to understand people more in the way how they run their stations.
These extra hits means also business to htm, not ? So they should understand that it works both ways ... Thanks for the explanation ...
