[LOGic] callbooks

[Warren Elly]

Well Mel, as fate would have it, I already had that slash in there  
after db and before (call)
So I'm back to square one...
No other callbook gives the same result as qrz.. I get coding of some  
kind in place of the name and qth info that appears in the qrz window
I only recently started getting it...and before I upgraded, but after  
I added the new URL we've been discussing
