Fred,

 

First, I commend you for an excellent website, QRZ.COM. It is, indeed, one
of the most premier sites on the internet for hams.

 

However, there is one segment of hams, actually a rather large segment, that
are experiencing significant challenges when trying to access your site.
Those of us who are blind and use screen reading programs, like JAWS and
WindowEyes, are having problems accessing QRZ.COM. I understand that you
have a Text-based alternative that is more accessible. Unfortunately, not
very many of my blind colleagues are aware of this more accessible
alternative. Toward the objective of resolving this problem, I recommend
that you simply put a link on the top of your landing page, your index page,
something like:

 

For Screen Reader Users, Click Here

 

To make it even easier, it would be good if this entire wording be the link;
so, no matter where the screen reader user clicks on this link, it will take
him/her over to the text alternative of your site. 

 

Fred, my intent is to help you with this issue and offer a possible solution
for my blind ham colleagues. We are ready and willing to assist you any way
we can to resolve this issue. If needed, we are fully prepared to form a
small group or committee of blind hams to work with you and help any way we
can. Just let us know if we can assist you any further with this matter.

 

73,

Ron, K8HSY
