Hi Alan, I for one, would love to try the text version of QRZCOM 
especially because it might work great on my BrailleNote which is 
in my shack away from the regular computer.  I don't have Fred's 
email nor did I even know about a text version of QRZCOM.  73, 
Jim WA6EKS

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.

73, Alan

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
