Do we really need an alternative to QRZ.COM?
Would you pass along my info for a premium acct w/qrzcq?
Thanks
QRZCQ is a great site. It’s quite useful and is well designed.
I’m good on QRZCQ 🙂

We do, but this has been dicussed here before, so no need to go over it again.
Personally, I think qrzcq has a messy layout and I prefer hamQTH.com.
personally,I prefer ANYTHING but qrz.com….but until someone else releases a database that works run from the hard drive and is supported by logging programs…qrz.com is it..I operate more than half the time without internet access,so all these internet based lookup sites do me no good.
HamQTH.com is good as well. They do just callsign lookups and not all the other ancillary stuff that QRZCQ does, but it’s a nice, simple, and clean design. OK2CQR, the creator of HamQTH, also writes the CQRLog program which is a rather good logging program for Linux.
