    Hello QRZ Support/Forum Members,

    I'm experiencing an issue with my QRZ.com callsign page: the country flag is not displayed correctly beside my callsign and country name. I am based in Northern Ireland, but the page does not show any flag.

    I understand this is a common issue, especially for UK amateur radio operators from the various constituent regions. Ideally, the Union flag (British flag) should be shown when regional distinctions pose problems, as it accurately represents the UK and encompasses the flags of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. At present, neither my region’s flag nor the Union flag is shown.

    Could someone please update my callsign page so the correct flag—preferably the Union flag—is visible, or advise what steps I should take to ensure the correct flag appears? My callsign is: 2i0poy.

    Thank you for your help regarding this regional flag display issue.

    Best regards,
    Rob, 2i0poy

    FWIW, it looks like it's only a quirk for Northern Ireland. The other DXCC entities within the UK are showing their official regional flags.

    I assume that this is the result of a combination of the lack of an official regional flag, the political sensitivities regarding flags to represent Northern Ireland, QRZ's strictly apolitical nature.

    there is an offical flag for Northern Ireland - the union flag , as neither the Ulster Banner or St Patricks Saltaire alone are recognisied as official an the Ulster banner is the one which is sensitive from a Sectarian point of view

    Hi Guys, I am in England and the correct flag is being displayed. However I would much prefer to use the UK union jack if that is possible regards

    Itu karena Anda memiliki setelan DXCC ke Sumatra. Sumatra dihapus dari daftar DXCC pada tahun 1963, saya percaya. Silakan kirim tiket dukungan di https://ssl.qrz.com/support meminta agar bendera ditambahkan ke halaman Anda.

    That is because you have your DXCC set to Sumatra. Sumatra was removed from the DXCC list in 1963, I believe. Please submit a support ticket at https://ssl.qrz.com/support requesting that the flag be added to your page.
