Keep your QRZ.COM Address Up to Date

[K9STH]

Chris:

The data on QRZ.com comes directly from the FCC. Thus, if someone doesn't update their information with the FCC as required by law, then the data on QRZ.com is going to be wrong.

A remider to everyone: If you move then you MUST notify the FCC so that they can change your station location to the proper address. Also, you MUST have a good address on file with the FCC.

heck, I looked up my profile and it listed 3 differant calls each time I looked at it
where it says to send e-mail and PM it never comes up with the correct one, now this is not good.

[WA2ZDY]

Yeah, that happens. So look up your call in the database - the little white box at the top of the window. That's where it will reflect FCC data.

LC, I'd call W8JN on that one and let him know he screwed up and demand your money back. Point out to him that he's the one who was in violation of Part 97 (and if he remains uncooperative, let K8ERV add him to "the list.")

I thought that Fred killed the list sometime back. Is ERV keeping one privately? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Well fellows,

I must say that you horse-trader types really crack me up.

Collectively, you're worse than a room full of first graders, always whining about how the other guy did you wrong.

Believe me, after reading all the "Rotten trader" reports, I don't know why any of you would ever deal with another ham.

I guess that I'm adding to the problem simply by reading or responding to these posts, but its like a car wreck...

Everyone slows down to look, all the while grateful that they were not involved.

So thanks for the entertainment, and I for one will NEVER buy a piece of equipment, accessories, or whatever from anyone unless I know them, or at least can hold the item long enough to test it. By the same token, anything that I own will stay in my possesion until I croak before I'd ever sell it to one of you...

Let the estate sales handle the mess, at least they have had training on the care and feeding of vultures.

Thanks Gary, I don't you have anything I want anyway.
And none of my stuff is for sale.

I could use an HQ120 - unmodified only please, or a not-so-old Vibroplex bug. In fact, a left handed Lafayette bug (who remembers them?!) would serve me well too.

(Geez, I hope Gary doesn't have either of them!!!)

[wg7x]

Chris,

Nope... I don't have anything that you would want.

But that's OK, because once here, it stays here.

I promise that you'll never hear me singing a somebody done me wrong song on QRZ!

teasing ya' OM, I ust can't imagine someone keeping everything they have ever owned.

Hi John,

No, unlike some others here, I have a sense of humor.

I did get taken in once by one of these sharpie trader types, and at that time decided that it would never happen again. Once bitten twice shy, you know. But even then it was a local fellow, and at the time it seemed like a good trade. It was later that I finally figured out that I had been had.

I still talk to this fellow, but I learned my lesson on trust with him.

And, Yes, since that time I still have every piece of Amateur gear that I have acquired over the last 20 years or so, and the stuff will stay here for a while yet.

I would rather GIVE it away than trade it to someone who is only going to turn around and trade it again and again in a never ending cycle.

That way, they can never come back and complain. I hope!

You've had like...a DAY since you sent the e-mail.
Not everyone checks their mail compulsively.

Calm down and give it a REASONABLE amount of time before you start spazzing out.

I've got a feeling dear Paul's going to quickly learn the joys of dealing with THAT customer. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Unless you get the filter back, it can be considered a "he said-he said" situation.
If I sold an item, and it was believed to be defective, I'd certainly expect the item be returned to me before I'd make an adjustment or refund. It would also give me a chance to verify whether that item was indeed defective or not. Saying you sent the filter back to the wrong address, unfortunately, puts the responsibility on your own shoulders, and it would have been prudent to have contacted the seller first to verify a correct course of action and return address before sending it off.

Try "weeks". Not "day".
Not sure what that comment means?

I certainly hope you receive some satisfaction in the matter; between the two computers, you seem to have a valid address for the seller, and it is irresponsible for him not to respond at all. But a bit of patience is in order, as well. (Then again, you didn't mention the time frame of the transactions.)
It's also irresponsible of the seller not to have filed a change of address with the FCC; but that is another matter.

Fred did not "kill" the list, it is mine, and has always been "private", that is I don't publish the list on any board. Fred just did not like refs to it on his board, and I respect that. But it has always been available directly from tlamb@mesa.net. I am presently adding AE2NZ to it.

Just to reiterated. You ARE REQUIRED to have your currect address on file with the FCC, from which, multiple databases draw your address info from when performing a callsign search. If it isn't up to date, the in all honesty, anything sent or lost because you failed to comply with FCC rules and regulation, IMHO, you should be held responsible for. Just my 2 cents worth on this issue.

I agree with you for the most part at least in principle. But the FCC (and some of the "databases") have been known to list wrong adresses or other information. Not to defend the seller in this case of not responding, but I'm not sure there would be a legal basis particularly in using QRZ (Or eHam, or ARRL, or a dozen other databases) and not the actual FCC database for an address in a business transaction.
And the FCC requires a "mailing address" in the US, with a 30 day specification for change.. The mailing address COULD be different than the actual residence, (such as in the case of a club call) so the person in question would have to check thre mail at least every month.
Don't give up or abandon ALL hope.

[W7WV]

Yes it's a good idea to check once in awhile. I was checking on a ham I know some miles from me and found he had moved to PR? At least that's what all the databases said.
Apparently somebody made a typo updating his license at the FCC and the rest was history. My friend does not do the internet thing and he did not have a clue.
It's all fixed now anyway.

[W0LC]

Unfortunately for me, this amateur hasn't bothered to update his address info with the FCC which to me, is most concerning as to why.

I was fortunate though, the item was returned to me and subsequently sent to the Seller. I am still waiting on responses to my e-mails about the returned funds plus the additional shipping costs incurred. As a minimum, he should be responding to e-mails and posting my refund ASAP. I would if I were in his shoes. Then again, I always do the right thing and timely. This has been on going for over a month how. Beginning to get tiresome of the lackadasical attitude displayed.
