What does qrz

You can share as little or as much as you want. Add some detail about yourself for us to know you better, as much as you are comfortable with. Tell us just a little about yourself— things like hobbies and job and maybe what is your history with or interest in ham radio. An email address is also helpful for people to contact you that way. Old-timers are already familiar with it but new or prospective hams may not be aware of a wonderful online callsign reference called QRZ.

QRZ is a very powerful and popular callsign database that is located at qrz. If they have a callsign, you can look up their FCC registered address, license class, license expiration, exact location including the important Maidenhead grid square and a map of their location with exact distance from your station.

If the other ham has added info about themselves, you can see photos of them and their equipment, a biography, specific interests or whatever else they choose to share, including an email address.

Hams can also use QRZ as a contact log if they choose to do so. You can search by call sign, partial call, name, address or grid locator.

If you look yourself up on the map you can see all the hams in your immediate vicinity; you might be surprised at how many there are. The QRZ database includes international hams so if you want to look up call signs around the world you can do that, too. Know what is QRZ? Got another good explanation for QRZ?
