Error in AZIM display when using HamQTH

Hi,

I've started to use HamQTH in callbook search. In some cases the direction and distance information (along with sunrise and sunset times) shows wrong. When you enter the call sign the info is first correct, but when the details are fetched from HamQTH it shows the direction and distance to the home QTH. One example: VK9XM shows the correct azimuth first, but when the home QTH details are fetched, it shows the direction to Germany. It seems to be so, that when there is a contradiction between the DXCC country and HamQTH country, the direction and distance is shown according to HamQTH rather than the DX call. I think it should be the other way around.

I don't remember how it was with qrz.com, and now I cannot test it, but I never noticed similar behaviour.

Here is another example: TT8TT (Chad) shows first the right direction but after fetching the operator info changes the direction and distance to Italy.

Pekka, I do notice that there

Pekka, I do notice that there are some small differances not big ones, but seems to be the same with QRZ, one thing you want to make sure that you set your grid square right in both CQRlog and at the HamQTH web sight, if these are different or you did not enter this info in either one this could be the problem, please check...TU Tom K8WDX
