Hi Alan,
That's very interesting. A couple of things occur to me.
It would be interesting to try the text page and see if it is more than just
a look up. The service should be better publicized. The main page might
still be easily made accessible.
I'm not a great advocate of 'special' pages, if I can, I prefer to use what
my friends are using <smile>.

Hello all. As I indicated I would, I wrote to my friend Fred Lloyd, who
started qrz many years ago. When ever I have a question about a qrz.com
matter, I alwayscall or write to Fred first. I asked him if he had gotten
many complaints from blind hams regarding problems deriving information from
qrz.com. Here is Fred's reply to me:
Hello Alan,
So nice to hear from you. I haven't heard from any blind hams in the past
few months. I still offer the special text-only callsign lookup page for
the blind, available by request. Any QRZ member wishing to use it need only
drop me an email and I'll authorize the special page for them.
Best wishes,
-Fred
There you have it. I hope Fred's reply is of some help.

I just tried QRZ.com again and was able to click on email and get the
address unlike earlier times. So I guess I will have to retract my comment
about QRZ.com being very user unfriendly and say it's only somewhat
unfriendly. Not that it matters for this list, but it reminded me that I
need to upgrade my photo on that site, it was taken at my old QTH. Jim
