More Email Addresses!
Email Address Database QRZ was born on the Internet and is today one of
the most popular amateur radio Internet sites anywhere. Over the past
year, we've been collecting the email addresses of amateur radio
operators from around the world. Now, for the first time we are able
to share them with you as a component of the main QRZ database. There
are over 115,000 e-mail addresses contained in the callsign database.
The email addresses are displayed right along with the regular callsign
data, whenever they are available. You can make online updates to your
email address at:
http://www.qrz.com
By email, you can add or update your e-mail address by sending a short
message to:
To: updates@qrz.com
Subject: email update
qrz-email X0XXX your_email@address
-------
Just replace the X0XXX with your callsign and the 'your_email@address'
with your correct email address.

New Home Page Links
You'll find a new item in the main QRZ directory, our collection of
user web page links from around the world. You'll find pointers to
the home pages of hundreds of amateurs. Look for hampages.htm and
try it out (You'll need a browser like Netscape and an internet
connection).

More Digital QSL Cards
Our collection is rapidly growing and now includes over 1770 digital
images.
It's easy to add your favorite photo, QSL card or other image to the next
QRZ CDROM and have it associated with your callsign using any of the
methods below. If your image is already in .jpg format (400x300 max) then
you can send it to us via email (as an attachment) to:
editor@qrz.com
You can also ftp your image to:
ftp://ftp.qrz.com/tmp
We prefer .JPG formats and will convert your image to .JPG format if
necessary. We reserve the right to reject any image that we feel is
inappropriate.
If you would like us to digitize your printed copy, just mail it
to us (in an envelope so it will stay clean) at:
QRZ Digital Image Repository
8711 E. Pinnacle Peak Road #159
Scottsdale, AZ 85255 USA
Your card, floppy, photo, etc., will not normally be returned to you. If
you must have your copy back, then please include a self addressed stamped
envelope (SASE) with your letter. Scanning at QRZ is generally done in
batches so it may be a few weeks before it appears on the Internet and
several months before it hits the next CD.
Callsign Database Updates
We now have listings from USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Austria,
Mexico, UK, Italy, Turkey, Monaco, Brazil, Portugal, Cuba, Taiwan and
miscellaneous listings from everywhere. Since the introduction of
our online DX callsign registration form, we've begun to take on
hundreds of new, exotic callsigns each month. We're still looking
for more DX callsign databases, and you could qualify for a free
subscription to QRZ for helping us obtain more countries. For more
info contact the author at: aa7bq@qrz.com.
Note: Neither QRZ or Walnut Creek CDROM edits or updates the FCC
callsign data. If the U.S. information contained in the QRZ Ham
Radio CDROM is incorrect for any callsign, all corrections must be
done directly with the FCC. The easiest way to do this is to fill
out a Form 610 and send it to the FCC. The master database at QRZ
(http://www.qrz.com) is updated daily with the latest FCC information
available.

Shareware

expected to pay the program author a registration fee if you find the
program or image useful. You will find details of registration
included in the document/text files provided with each program.
