Hmmm, I never submitted any details to QRZ.com, neither did my brother, father and father-in-law et al. Most of the UK entries get set up from a periodic data feed from either Ofcom (UK version of FCC) or RSGB. I had a bit of chasing around trying to get my Father-in-Law and father removed from QRZ.com after they became SK. My Father-in-law's call was being used in a scam based in the Netherlands and I have to say that QRZ.com's admin were very helpful and prompt. The main issue is that there would appear to be a number of SK calls still listed. Andrew G8BYB

QRZ.com downloads the FCC ULS at least daily, If you have a US FCC-granted license, you will be there exactly as your license reads. Email and bio are up to you. We moved a couple of years ago and I updated my address in the ULS. It appeared on QRZ.com that night. For non-US folks, it *is* whatever they have created themselves. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 12/6/2017 7:01 AM, KQ8M wrote: > Charles, > I have one problem with a statement here.
