    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.

    I just checked again and there is no license class listed at all or an expiration date. Any other silent key I have known has their class and expiration date listed. Kind of confused why his is different.

    I'm assuming it's just a data glitch from the FCC data feed. I can't change it.

    That is apparently missing on every QRZ "detail" page now.

    It does not show expiration date or License Class on my page or yours. Nor any others I look at, on QRZ.

    Try here; https://hamcall.net/call for looking up License Class and Expiration date.

    For Roger D Smallwood, N8EKG; his license expiration does not show there, as I reported him as SK but the License Class does still show.

    The FCC search page is not working at the moment. :(

    I just checked a few callsigns at random. Seems to be working OK now.

    I see license class and expiration dates on both screen shots you sent me. Not sure what you're talking about.
