Looks like you have to have a QRZ SUBSCRIPTION – not just an account. I don’t think it’s worth $30/yr just for gridsquares.

$30 is the lowest level that provides XML data. Since most hams provide grid data, I can't see paying for it. And as Jerry points out, the data on QRZ isn't guaranteed to be accurate. I'll generally ask for the grid if the ham doesn't provide it, and use QRZ as a last resort. I can look it up in a matter of seconds while I'm sending a macro. When you're paying for 2 Master's Degrees, $30 saved is 30 extra dollars in my pocket. Mike WM4B

Also, I should mention that there are many calls which have been banned because of things they had posted on their pages and/or in QRZ forums. What I'm saying is that QRZ is not 100% accurate. The FCC data base is definitely the most accurate. Jerry n9avy

And some hams have requested that their data not be listed on QRZ. Mine was delisted at my request for a couple of years.
Here’s another resource that’s pretty decent: www.levinecentral.com/ham/grid_square.php Mike WM4B From: 070Club@groups.io [mailto:070Club@groups.io] On Behalf Of Jerry N9AVY Sent: Tuesday, January 2, 2018 5:17 PM To: 070Club@groups.io Subject: Re: [070Club] Fill Slots Also, I should mention that there are many calls which have been banned because of things they had posted on their pages and/or in QRZ forums.

Jerry...That's an interesting observation! Out of the literally millions of calls listed at QRZ.com, What % of those millions of world wide calls listed has been banned? Out of the 37,502 Q's I have in my ACLog, is the percentage large enough to even matter? I am still using ACLog 4.9, and it fills in the grid sq. info for me. I have it set up just the way I described in an earlier post. Milt. N6MG 070-650 LONP-76
