If the user enters a QSO before the QRZ lookup is finished, the locator appears in the wrong location #25

While operating GB18NH I noticed that if I entered a QSO (hit return) before the QRZ.com lookup had finished, then the locator found in the QRZ.com lookup is inserted in the blank/new QSO log line.

For simplicity, let us assume there has been no QSOs entered in the log, so the first QSO entered would be serial 001;

  1. The operator, with CamLog open in front of them, calls CQ and 'M1BXF' responds.
  2. The operator enters 'M1BXF' into the callsign box for serial 001 and hits TAB.
  3. CamLog looks up 'M1BXF' on QRZ.com to fetch the locator.
  4. The Operator completes QSO 001 and enters it, by hitting return before the QRZ.com lookup is complete.
  5. The locator found for 'M1BXF' on the QRZ.com lookup is entered into the locator box for serial 002.

I believe this will only be noticed while on a slow internet connection. It is also likely that the locator for QSO 001, which is entered into QSO 002, will be overwritten when the operator enters a new callsign into QSO 002 and hits TAB, which will trigger another QRZ.com lookup and will overwrite the locator.
