    The QRZ XML service is returning an incorrect Lat / Long for TO1P

    The beam heading derived by N3FJP using the QRZ XML service calculated a heading of 51 degrees from my location:

    43.2247248
    -85.546714
    Grid Square EN73ff

    In reality, the correct heading should have read about 150 degrees I think.

    This is not a QRZ XML issue, it is an operator data entry issue. If TO1P is in St. Barthelemy as stated, then the location (Grid/Lat/Lon) information was entered incorrectly in QRZ. TO1P (or SP9IFH who manages the call) needs to correct the information they entered as the XML data is only as accurate as the data the licensed amateur plugs into the system.

    I wondered about that after looking deeper in to the data associated with the call! Thanks for the clarification!
