Callsign Lookup - magicbug/Cloudlog GitHub Wiki

Callsign lookup is supported using the HamQTH (Free) or QRZ XML Subscription service (Paid).

If you have purchased a QRZ XML Subscription you can configure Cloudlog to use it by doing the following

In /application/config/config.php update the following

$config['callbook'] = "qrz";
$config['qrz_username'] = "";
$config['qrz_password'] = "";
$config['use_fullname'] = true;

The username and password are the ones you use to login to QRZ.
NOTE: Do NOT use the sign '#' in your password, when use remove it .. to give good search result !

NOTE: If you want to fetch the full name (first and surname) and store it in your database, set $config['use_fullname'} = true, as displayed above.

NOTE: even if you haven't purchased a subscription, QRZ will return the following fields via the XML interface ...

• First name <fname>
• Last name <name>
• Town/City <addr2>
• State (USA only) <state>
• Country <country>

... sufficient to populate a few fields in the log! There may, however, be a limit to the number of lookups you can do, although this may apply to the web pages only and not the XML interface (unconfirmed - at the time of writing I'm up to 246 lookups in the last 24 hrs without a subscription!)

If you want to use HamQTH you need to configure the following items

In /application/config/config.php update the following

$config['callbook'] = "hamqth";
$config['hamqth_username'] = "";
$config['hamqth_password'] = "";
$config['use_fullname'] = true;

The username and password are the ones you use to login to hamqth.

NOTE: If you want to fetch the full name (first and surname) and store it in your database, set $config['use_fullname'} = true, as displayed above.
