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 172,000 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:

More Digital QSL Cards
Our collection is rapidly growing and now includes over 11,500 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:
photos@qrz.com
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.
Callsign Database Updates
We now have listings from USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Austria,
Mexico, UK, Italy, Turkey, Monaco, Brazil, Portugal, Cuba, Taiwan, the
CIS (formerly the Soviet Union), 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.
You can now update or renew your amateur license online. For more
