I would love that! It take my cdrom a couple secs to spin up then do the lookup. Doing a internet lookup might be a little faster and it would be more current. Sure would be nice. I would be happy even if it just did a lookup on the fcc database.

DXBase searches that just as if it was on a cdrom JUST FASTER... The QSL INFO window fill automagically and instantly. Prior to that I used Buckmaster with the same success. I never used the QRZ cdrom but expect it to work the same. I do suggest that if your qsling a important (read: RARE) DX qso, you also check Pathfinder for any latest info. Pathfinder can be accessed by the PF icon and includes alternate sources of qsl address data. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Charlie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 3:16 PM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Auto Callsign lookup w/o CD >I would love that!
