[Elecraft] Yet another scam

[Fred Jensen]

Ummm ... 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.
