[HamTips] Call sign lookup and information web sites

[Bob Witte (K0NR)]

Passing along a tip about ham radio callsign web sites. There are a 
number of sites that support a search of the FCC database to find 
information on amateur radio licensees. (Yes, your FCC callsign and 
license info are public record.)

Here's a few callsign lookup pages:

    ARRL       http://www.arrl.org/advanced-call-sign-search
    QRZ        https://www.qrz.com/
    QRZ CQ  https://www.qrzcq.com/
    Ham QTH https://www.hamqth.com/

QRZ (https://www.qrz.com/) is probably the most popular and allows you 
as the licensee to add photos and text to the listing. In particular, 
you can put your email address attached to your callsign, if you want to 
let other hams know how to contact you. For example, if I need to look 
up the callsign of a fellow ham, I'll check first on qrz.com to see if 
it is listed there.

Take a look at my qrz.com page for an example: https://www.qrz.com/db/k0nr

73, Bob
