-
- 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 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.
