I know I'm going to open up a whole new can of worms here, but I have to say
that the QRZ.com web site keeps changing, and I'm not sure it is in the best
interest of accessibility.

For one thing, the log-in link used to be toward the top of the page, but I
can no longer find it.

I found a link that says "go secure", but when I click on it, I can find
nowhere to enter my user name and password.

I know that others have not had these sorts of problems with QRZ.com, but as
soon as I think I have the web site figured out, something changes yet
again.

This is getting very frustrating to say the least.

If you can tell me how you  get to the log-in screen, I'll give it another
try here a little later.

Otherwise, I'm going to dump QRZ if I can find another more user friendly
ham call lookup site.

Tom,

I just tried looking up someone on Q R Z and had no trouble getting the
e-mail address.

First, I logged on to Q R Z.
I don't think you can get the e-mail if you don't login.

Next I entered a call to look up.

Next I arrowed down to the e-mail area and where it said mouse over, I went
to the JAWS cursor and the e-mail came up.  I am using JAWS 14.
