The other issue that I run into a LOT is with folks who are either on vacation, traveling, or have moved and simply have not updated their records. They send one grid square on WSJT-X and yet QRZ has something completely different. My grid is CM98, but operating on vacation in April as DU8/W6JHB I was in PJ19, and of course QRZ knew nothing about that.
