Interestingly, I was apparently jumping to conclusions earlier - google's server was having problems and returning server errors for ALL flash-component geocoder requests for a time. They have since fixed the issue. It may have been coincidence that they had fixed the problem at the same time you ran this test. Please try again with the original, and see if it still has a problem.

Ok. You were correct. The original membership.cvs export is now working properly, except for two incorrect addresses. The text in back of the phone numbers isn't a problem.

Thanks for the help. !!

I've been trying to download another copy of the WardMap Software, but I'm getting (Can't contact the database server: Unknown MySQL server host 'hpaulsen-1.mysql.aplus.net' (1) (hpaulsen-1.mysql.aplus.net))

Same thing here. Perhaps it's the hosting provider doing maintenance or similar.

Alas, that is the case. My web host had promised that their update would not affect the sql server, but it did, so I have to change all my db references. Unfortunately, I can't yet due to other maintenance issues.

Note that this sql server problem will affect WardMap's HAM information, as well.

Can you be more specific regarding how the HAM reports will be affected? I assume that the HAM reports won't be available until the SQL issue is resolved. Do I also assume that everyone who's currently using WardMap for HAM reports would have to update their program once the sql problem is fixed?

That's correct.

Although my server is running moderately smoothly (though slowly), I have discovered what I believe to be a critical glitch in the official FCC license database - the "License Status" field (of HD.dat) is no longer populated. This field shows whether a license has expired, was terminated, or is still active. The FCC information will not be available in WardMap until the FCC fixes this problem (or informs me of a workaround).

How are you accessing the information? I went to http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/results.jsp and I see "status".

Well, I feel foolish - I was working from the "application" data by mistake. I'll get back to work on it....

You may already be aware of this page, but I'll post it just in case.

This is the page where you can download the FCC ULS databases either weekly or a daily update of them.

The weekly Amateur Radio files are about 95mb for licenses and about 125mb for applications.

The daily transactions page has links explaining the ULS database format.

It would require using your own server and keeping it updated. You may have mentioned this at one time.

Just a thought I had...
