The PA ham's first name & county in the German Ham's lookup.

If you do a manual lookup of the call it will replace any cached data with new lookup data.

What are caches and how do I get rid of them ?

MacLoggerDX caches or stores the QRZ Online QSL pictures and the Lookup data for varying periods of time to reduce the load on your internet connection and speed things up. If you want to see a change you have made to the Online lookup data or your QSL picture immediately just do a manual lookup (enter the call and press return) which will bypass the cache or quit MacLoggerDX and rename or delete this folder:

~/Library/Caches/com.dogparksoftware.MacLoggerDX/


The QRZ web page is not always in sync with the QRZ Online data base.

If the data is incorrect in the QRZ Online database you can ask QRZ to correct it.

You can check the QRZ Online database entry for that ham here:
