Grid field remains blank

Hello Petr,

I'm using a membership text file as QTH Locator database as you have proposed. This works fine, but for some callsigns the grid field remains blank even though data is available in the text file.

Can you (and other users) please check if the same error occurs?

Here is a membership text file with callsigns and locators:
http://5tx.de/load/ham_radio/cqrlog/qthloc.txt

Settings in the preferences made as requested (first combobox "clubcall", second box "call", "Store this information into" to "grid" and "field:" %n)

Type e.g. OK1AYA, OZ5W, SK3MF, [...] in the Call field. Does a locator show up?

And it seems that CQRLOG can't handle /P, DL/, /1 etc in membership lists. This is not a big problem, but if so I will remove all calls with "/" from the file.

Hello Ulf,

this problem with blank locator field is a bug in CQRLOG and will be fixed in next release.

In membership CQRLOG uses calls without /P. Even if you use KH6/DK5TX, CQRLOG looks for DK5TX in membership database.

Hi Petr,

many thanks for fixing the bug and the information. I'll update the QTH locator membership file then.
