    I just read the ARRL news and it was reported that N8EKG is a silent key. I looked him up and it lists his license class as "G" and there is no "effective" or "expires" dates listed. I have never seen this before including silent keys. What does this mean?

    Thanks

    Just some sort of glitch in the data feed from the FCC.

    It's not there now anyway. I would assume it was "General" but the data got clipped in the feed. QRZ doesn't enter that info - it all comes straight from the FCC. All QRZ does is change the page heading to SK/2025 (or whatever year) and set the Bio to SK status.

    What's in QRZ doesn't really matter. If you need to know the rest of his info, it's available through other sources.
