Like many hams, I now have a computer in the shack. One of the really cool things I can do with it is to type in the call of a station I’ve just contacted, and if he or she has a page on QRZ.com, find out some information about them. My page, for example, has a little bit about my ham radio interests and a link to this blog where they can read more. I have also posted a picture there so people can see what I look like.
I only wish that more hams would post their information. For one thing, posting that information is a good conversation starter. Yesterday, for example, I contacted a guy who lived in the area of southeast Ohio where my grandparents grew up and also was an electronics engineer. Because he had posted that information, I was able to mention those things that we had in common and that started off a nice QSO.
So please, if you haven’t done so already, go to QRZ.Com and tell us more about yourself!
