[Dx4win] QRZ xml service

[Tim moore]

If you're talking about QRZ website callsign lookups, there is a
limit.....IF...you are not a Subscriber. The limit is 100 per day if you
are NOT an XML Subscriber. If you do subscribe (it's 25 per year I think
for basic XML service), then the number of lookups is indeed UNLIMITED. But
non subscribers are limited per day....and I'm pretty sure the limit is 100
per day.
