Problems with Ham Radio Deluxe and QRZ 2.0

There wasn't much on the scanners today with the poor weather conditions, there just wasn't much military activity to be heard. Given the lack of milcom activity, I hooked up the FT-897 and decided to play around with HF for a bit.

While logging the net stations and dx stations I worked, I found that Ham Radio Deluxe would not get the station information from the QRZ website. I went to QRZ and discovered that they have switched to their new QRZ 2.0 format. Apparently with this format, Ham Radio Deluxe is unable to access the station information. Hopefully, HRD will soon release an update to remedy the situation.
