This is somewhat curious Jim.  Fred Lloyd is a friend of mine, and I will
ask him if he has gotten many complaints from blind hams attempting to
lookup callsigns on qrz.com.

Hi Alan, I also use WindowEyes and have experienced a lot of 
difficulty with qrz.com If there's another site that works well, 
I would just as soon use it.  Jim WA6EKS

Hello Tom, I use qrz.com all the time and don't have any 
difficulty looking
callsigns up.  I can't imagine why you would be having difficulty 
looking
callsigns up.  I use Window Eyes, but I wouldn't think that JAWS 
users would
have problems there.

Hi, everyone.

I was just looking up a call on qrz.com, and was dismayed to find 
the search

function and resultant information for a given call is less 
accessible than
it has ever been.

It does not seem as easy to get to the QRZ look-up as it once 
was, and even
when there, it is more difficult to access different pieces of 
information
for a given call sign.

I know that wm7d has been suggested as another alternative, and 
may now
start using that web site exclusively for call sign lookups.

Has anyone had similar recent experience with qrz.com??

I am using Jaws 13 and Windows XP on this particular computer.
