Yes, Don, you are missing something. It used to be that, if you supplied them
with your e-mail info, it would be displayed below where you see the
birthdate. Now, they've changed that to discourage spambots. The e-mail
comes up in a graphical format which, of course, is unreadable by screen
readers.
By the way, just as an aside, I prefer Buckmaster to QRZ as it is more
accurate. For example, QRZ assigns you arbitrarily as to coordinates, your
county and a grid square based on your zip code. The algorithm they use
assigns these based on where most of the population of that particular zip
code resides.
In my case, this results in inaccuracies. I live in Ingham County, but am
assigned to Eaton as parts of both counties share the zip code. On the other
hand, Buckmaster accurately assigns one to the correct county, grid square and
coordinates. I used to be able to type in my friend's call, N8KL, and it
shows him in a different grid square than I even though we were two blocks
apart. Lol!

Subject: Re: QR zed e-mail addresses no longer accessible
I guess I don't understand this message. I just went to qrz.com and typed in
my callsign and it came back in a perfectly readible format. I clicked on
"detailed info" and got my birthdate and all. Much more complete than the
ualr.edu I posted earlier. I didn't see anything particularly graphical about
it. Am
I missing something?

Well folks, if you wanted to look somebody's e-mail up
on q r zed you're too late now, on the web-site
anyway. They've gone to a graphical format to lock out
spam bots. I'm talking to KG7 f a on echolink and he
reminded me you can send a message to
[log in to unmask]
Leave the subject blank and in the body of the message
type lookup and then the call sign, with a space
between. You'll get an e-mail with the info. I haven't
tried it that way yet, but John uses it.
