I entered my existing street address at the above site without 
mention of call sign or zip code & it came up with the exact same 
grid address that is listed in QRZ..

In fact it indicates QRZ as the source of my grid square address, 
which may indicate it's use of QRZ as primary source of information..

Try this:  4149 Bellaire Blvd. #130, Houston, Texas & see what you 
come up with..?
