Problem with Internet Callsign Database
Hi, I'm Dom F4BWJ an happy user of Swisslog since I've return to radioham activities after a break of a few years.
Since yesteday I have a problem with Internet search via QRZ.com and HamQTH.com. Searching the datas when I type a new callsign in the Add QSO windows doesn't work anymore.
I get the message "Callsign doesn't exist" after "Getting QRZ session key" in despite it exist on QRZ.com or HamQTH.com.
However my user name and password are OK, for example search via QRZ.com is still working with VQLog.
I'm very disappointed as this internet search is very useful. I really don't know what could have happened as everything worked fine until tomorrow evening.
Is there something to reset or to look at to resolve the problem.
I've tried to refresh the database connection, after that I've completely reinstalled Swisslog 5.94 but the problem still remains the same. Something has failed after a Windows 10 update? I really don't know.
Am I the only one with this problem or some of you encounter this problem?
Many thanks in advance for your answers.

RE: Problem with Internet Callsign Database
Note that I've just made another test with Buckmaster Hamcall with its file hamcall.dat and I get the same problem with "Callsign doesn't exist" message even if i disable Internet callsign Database . It's very annoying.
Is there something wrong in the search callsign datas process?

RE: Problem with Internet Callsign Database
Hi Jordi,
many thanks for your answer. So I will wait for the next version of Swisslog 5.
I will try to investigate to discover the reason why I'm not able to get info from the buckmaster local database with hamcall.dat file enabled in Swisslog.
Concerning HamQTH it's just a problem of password there was a # in my password and it seems it doesn't work with this special character with Swisslog.
I've changed my password for HamQTH and now it works. I didn't paid attention about this before as I always use QRZ.com.
Best 73,
Dom.

RE: Problem with Internet Callsign Database
Hi Jordi,
many thanks for the info.
I just don't know why the local database from Buckmaster Hamcall doesn't work for me.
Internet callsign database is OK but datas searching via the callbook CD (Buckmaster hamcall) in C:\ham0\hamcall.dat seems not to work unfortunately.
My best wishes for 2017 and happy hollidays.
73 de Dominique.

RE: Problem with Internet Callsign Database
Hi Jordi,
I've yet tried several time unchecking "Search internet before the local callbook" option but without success nothing happens typing a callsign which I know it is in the Hamcall database.
I just get "Callsign does not exist".
Perhaps something not compatible with actual hamcall database?
I don't have RACB to test here.
Dom.

RE: Problem with Internet Callsign Database
Hi Dom,
I have detected that the HAMCAL32.DLL used in Swisslog is very old! It's dated on 1995! I have found the latest DLL here:
http://hamcall.net/hamcal32.dll
Could you please try to replace this DLL in the Swisslog folder (overwriting the existing one) and test again?
Let me know if it works to include the new one in the next version.
