Newly updated DLL for QRZ.com access now available

[Jim Sims W5RYA]

As you may or may not know, on June 17, QRZ.com changed the way their database can be accessed.  This caused the EasyLog access to their data base to stop functioning.  There had been two ways to access the data base. One was the free access that was supported by EasyLog 5.  The other was their paid subscription XML access which was not supported by EasyLog 5.

 

Today, July 4, 2011, an updated DLL  was released on EasyLog Wiki.  This DLL and the supporting INI file restore access to the now severely limited free access to the QRZ database as well as add support for the paid XML service.  You can download these files as a ZIPPED file from EasyLog Wiki www.easylog.com/wiki.  These files are free to all who use EasyLog 5 regardless of whether your support is current or not.  You must have at least verison 5.5.0.0 for this update to work.

 

When you navigate to EasyLog Wiki, scroll down the page until you find the section that deals with QRZ.com.  Click the link there and you will be taken to the page from which you can download the ZIPPED file that contains the two files that are needed to upgrade you EasyLog 5.  Instructions are given there for how to install the files.

 

Also available from EasyLog Wiki are the updated Check and Manager databases.  As always, backup your logs before you install these new databases.  It is the only way to recover should something go wrong in their installation.
