Dennis,
Thank you.  I am using four spotting sources.  Two Telnet sources, DX Summit, and DXScape.  I'm not certain which one was causing the problem.  Maybe I'm silly to be using all of those, but I have done it for years.  I thought the issue was over, but I had some more trouble with it later.  Also, I was running happily along and entering QSOs.  At one point the call book function tried to automatically look up a call that I just entered and I had the same type of thing happen.  No response from QRZ.com and it just hung waiting and waiting and waiting....  I would really appreciate finding out where to change the time out length.  At this point my system seems to be at what we have in the IBM iSeries world as *NOMAX or what ever is similar in Windows.  I have let it go for hours and it never timed out.  Once I get in that situation I'm stuck and it pretty much kills my operations.  Tnx & 73,  Bryce  K7UA
