If each DX spot generated a callsign lookup, each user would be sending about 30,000 lookup requests per day to their lookup service. Therefore...</li><li>Whatever is shown in the DX Cluster pane is based on the grid or coordinates provided by the DX cluster node you're connected to for a given call. And...</li><li>This data is entered into the DX cluster node by someone representing that call. It then can propagate across DX clusters in some cases.</li><li>Presently, most DX cluster nodes are showing the grid for 3B7M as JD15, as entered on HA6DX. (this taken on node WA9PIE-2)</li><li>Because callsign lookups aren't made for DX spots, any information shown in the DX cluster pane should be considered <u>an estimate</u>.</li></ul><div>Add Log Entry (ALE) and Lookup pane</div><div><ul><li>Because the ALE is what is used to put data into the log, it DOES use the callsign lookup logic (QRZ, QRZCQ, HamQTH, etc).</li><li>The Lookup pane also uses this method.</li><li>As such, the accuracy of the data is dependent upon the accuracy of the data entered by the OM who manages the entry in the lookup source (QRZ, QRZCQ, HamQTH, etc).</li><li>QRZ.com (as an example) contains LH93se for 3B7M. It is "User Supplied" data. The page is managed by OM5ZW. This grid is likely correct.</li></ul><div>Overall...</div></div><div><ul><li>The DX cluster pane shows estimates based on the user-entered data in the DX cluster node system. But this is not the data that gets logged.</li><li>Any data that gets sent to the log via the ALE uses callsign lookup data (if configured by the user).</li><li>Data obtained during the callsign lookup is used in creating the QSO. Fields that do not fill from the callsign lookup are left empty.</li></ul><div>All that to say this...<br></div></div><div><ul><li>I've made 3 QSOs with 3B7M. My QRZ.com XML subscription was used for callsign lookup. All of them logged with LH93se as provided by QRZ.com.</li><li>As such, there's no problem with Ham Radio Deluxe (aka "HRD"). It's flawlessly showing the results of whatever user-provided data is found for 3B7M.</li></ul><div>If anyone has an example of where the LOGGED data for 3B7M is wrong, I'd be happy to take a look.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Mike, WA9PIE</div><div>HRD Software</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 10:19 AM Mike G3YPP via Dxspider-support <<a href="mailto:dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk">dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-110493918632567900"><div lang="EN-GB" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_-110493918632567900WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I do a sh/stat for 3B7M and it shows as JD15 aka Bouvet Island.
