This is conjecture on my part but I believe a lot of this comes from QRZ.COM as I often find their information incorrect. I don't know where this information comes from but it looks like they use the center of the ZIP code for US stations or the center of the country for DX. I usually ask the DX I work for their grid square and check it against QRZ.COM. If it differs, I ask the DX to correct it. In these days of the internet, I find that, info correct or not, propagates quickly to every corner of the globe!

Every time I do a periodic import from LOTW there are a number of IMPORT errors on the Grid Locator. How does this happen? That is, where does DX4WIN get a Grid Locator that differs from what is downloaded from LOTW? (The mismatch occurs for stations never worked before). I must be missing something. 73 Jim KS1J ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to n...@roadrunner.com This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
