More Email Addresses!
Email Address Database QRZ was born on the Internet and is today one of the
most popular amateur radio Internet sites anywhere. Over the past year,
we've been collecting the email addresses of amateur radio operators from
around the world. Now, for the first time we are able to share them with
you as a component of the main QRZ database. There are over 95,000 e-mail
addresses available on this CDROM. The email addresses are displayed right
along with the regular callsign data, whenever they are available. If
you're on the Internet (http://www.qrz.com), it's easy to add your e-mail
address to the database.
By email, you can add or update your e-mail address by sending a short
message to:
To: updates@qrz.com
Subject: email update
qrz-email X0XXX your_email@address
-------
Just replace the X0XXX with your callsign and the 'your_email@address'
with your correct email address.

New Home Page Links
You'll find a new item in the main QRZ directory, our collection of
user web page links from around the world. You'll find pointers to
the home pages of hundreds of amateurs. Look for hampages.htm and
try it out (You'll need a browser like Netscape and an internet
connection).
