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 146,000 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. ========================================================================== More Digital QSL Cards Our collection is rapidly growing and now includes over 6500 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. ========================================================================== Disclaimer Walnut Creek CDROM makes no warranty about any file on this CDROM, including any written by Walnut Creek.
