G'Day Dennis,
My main activity is contesting. After each contest I import the N1MM log into Logic, upload/download to LOTW and eQSL, and do a Callbook batch update for the contest just completed. When I am DXing, I use Logic itself.
All works well, no problems, except for a minor irritation with the QRZ subscription data.
I have noted your previous comments about advertising in the Callbook web pages.
I wonder if something can be done about the following ....
In some contests I work over 1000 contacts. The process usually works OK - but, too often, stops on a call sign waiting for a last remaining item on the web page from QRZ - which never arrives and I have to CANCEL the dialogue.
If I repeat the process, the same call sign usually halts the processing again. So, now, I usually adjust the selection criteria adding "NOT CALL="XXX" and reprocess, and if I am lucky, the batch update proceeds to the end. If I am unlucky, the CALL phrase can have four or five call signs.
Many on QRZ have quite extensive web pages, with a lot of images, and detail, etc etc. I am happy to wait for it all to download - but prefer not to wait "forever".
The QRZ data is sitting in the Callbook panel ready for use, if ever the web page would complete its download.
Is a "timeout" possible, or is the code waiting for a "return" from the browser panel, and oblivious to the delay? A timeout of the order of minutes would be acceptable. I accept that you don't want to stop the web page downloading.
My lookup order is ...
QRZ Subscription
HamQTH
Univ AR @ Little Rock (Comprehensive)
FCC (Comprehensive)
... other minor sites
... is there something I do not understand about Callbook Batch Update, or can a timeout be implemented.
