QRZ I could believe, but since the FCC's DB is what drives the paper that shows up...? Not sure that's valid anymore... maybe back when the DB was a secondary thing and the paper was King... but today, if it's not in the DB, I'd really doubt that it's a valid call. Especially since the FCC is fine with Amateurs who are waiting on new licenses to start operating as soon as they see their callsign show up in the DB, but before they've received the paper copy... print a copy for reference and fire up the rig... -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
