[Dxspider-support] LU9DA-6 and QRZ.COM

[Ricardo Suarez]

I have no intention to pay AA7BQ for share personal data.... I not ask users 
pay money for access to my dxcluster node, then I begin to search for 
another, free,  source of callsign information.

Regards

Rick LU9DA

It is still functional on my node due to my subscription.

you are a subscriber (like myself) your sh/qrz function should work. I make
my registered users aware of the fact that the sh/qrz functions works off of
my personal subscription. However, non- registered users (I believe) also
can use the sh/qrz command.
