It is from the QRZ website <www.qrz.com>

The QRZ database depends on you entering the correct location for  
your call...

<http://www.qrz.com/i/corrections.html>

"Information that you may update with QRZ:

USA Hams may edit and/or delete: the previous callsign, grid square,  
county, lat/lon coordinates, birthday, QSL manager, email address and  
home page. All that is required is that you go to our online update  
page and provide us with your callsign and a real email address to  
which an update key may be sent. This key is yours to keep and can  
then be used as often as desired to update your callsign listing. The  
email address that you give to receive the key can be different than  
the one shown with your callsign (if any). "

"Due to the general difficulties in obtaining machine readable  
callsign information from DX countries around the world, we do accept  
database updates from NON-USA amateurs. To update the database for a  
NON-USA callsign, you can go directly to our online web update page."
