<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Fred, AA7BQ</STRONG>, QRZ Founder, announced that
QRZ.COM will be changing their database / web site. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>He states, "Today we're pleased to make an initial
announcement about a new version of our online callsign<BR>database that will
soon replace our existing pages. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>"Internally, we've been calling it QRZ 2.0, however, it
will soon be known simply as QRZ as it becomes the system default. The new
database includes a fresh new layout plus a number of new features and
information details that were not previously available. In addition, the new
callsign pages are customizable by the user to include colors, fonts, and
multiple pictures. We've also included the GridFinder as a mainstream part of
our data.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>"Additionally, we have made vast improvements in our geo
coordinate database, and we now include regional mapping information for nearly
every callsign, both USA and DX! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>"Once we've had sufficient time to test the new system we
will eventually replace all of the callsign pages with the new format." To see
an example of their new pages for AA7BQ, go to: </FONT><A
href="http://www.qrz.com/db/AA7BQ" target=_blank><FONT
face=Verdana>http://www.qrz.com/db/AA7BQ</FONT></A></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>"To see your callsign page under the new format, just use
the URL/code: http://www.qrz.com/db/your_callsign<BR>PLEASE NOTE: You must have
Javascript enabled on your browser to take full advangage of what these new
pages have to offer". </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Fred also mentions,"If you'd like to take a sneak peek at
the new editing features as well, you must join our Beta Tester's Group (it's
free) by clicking </FONT><A
href="http://forums.qrz.com/profile.php?do=editusergroups" target=_blank><FONT
face=Verdana>http://forums.qrz.com/profile.php?do=editusergroups</FONT></A><FONT
face=Verdana> (you must be logged in). <BR>Your request will be approved ASAP.
Your comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Please don't write to tell
us that 'you prefer the old version', or that you 'don't like the changes'
because, frankly, we're determined to move forward. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>"This is the first major rewrite of the QRZ database in
several years and a lot of new technology has come of age since the current
system made its debut. This project started more than a year ago and parts of it
have already been running in the background for some time. Now, however, we're
finally ready to start showing off the new look and get some feedback from the
users. We appreciate your feedback! Please don't be bashful! We think you're
going to like it!"<BR></FONT></P>
