QRZ Information: Keep your info up to date!

[David Tanks]

   

   Here is a reminder that when you move, or change calls, or other info

  on you gets changed for whatever reason, the onus is on you to 

  change/update your QRZ info! The FCC will not do it for you!

   I have run across a few stations whose Grid Square did not 

   match up with their address.

  

"When hams change their FCC registered address, some QRZ 'Detail' data

under their call will NOT reflect the new address, but continue to reflect

old data, like county, state, grid square, and other associated data tied 

to the latter. QRZ has stated the responsibility for maintaining data under 'Detail',

other than the license information, is that of the amateur radio operator. When you 

change your FCC address, you will have to go to QRZ Support and  advise what

changes are needed under 'Detail', such as state, county, grid square etc. It does

not automatically happen.

  Another issue is the email address a ham will have listed on QRZ. 

Hams often forget to notify QRZ when they change their email address.

  In summary, the FCC database mail address and other license pertinent information

under 'Detail' such as effective dates and license class will/should always be current.

But again, it is a different story for many parts of what is in the 'Detail' part of the hams'

QRZ page. If a county hunter this is an issue when a city is located across more than 

one county, not uncommon.

  If any of you come across issues caused by wrong data being extracted, I'd urge you 

to try and contact the ham and let him/her know about the 'Detail' issue. QRZ will not

accept changes to that data except from the affected ham."
