I haven't tested qrz.com for a few months.  But many websites are becoming 
more and more dynamic.  If you hit Enter on a link and nothing happens, even 
if you are running a recent version of JAWS or Window-Eyes, try using the 
screen reader's refresh key (insert-escape for JAWS; insert-backslash for 
Window-Eyes) and re-examine the page.  There are standard ways to do these 
things, which recent screen readers will do better, but not everybody 
follows guidelines such as ARIA.  I have to re-establish my qrz credentials, 
and the last time I tried to do this, part of the server was down.  I just 
tried it with IE 9 and Window-Eyes 8.2.  Your cursor lands in the callsign 
search box near the top of the page, and browse mode is off (forms mode on) 
ready for you to input a callsign.  If you want to look around instead, with 
Window-Eyes you use ctrl-shift-A or you tab a few times.  The page is 
cluttered, but it doesn't seem nearly as crazy as Facebook.

Well, Alan, it used to be so easy, but now, for whatever reason, I'm having
the trouble I have noted.

Perhaps it is something with Jaws, or with my Jaws set-up here, although I
notice it on my Windows 7 laptop as well.

Hopefully, other Jaws users can give some tips regarding what works for
them.
