Etymology. QRZ, the name of the website, is the "Q" code for "Who is calling me?" and corresponds to the site's purpose of assisting amateur radio operators with the lookup of ham radio call signs from every country in the world.

I'm new to HF and have a question about QSO conversations with "QR Zed" and "QSL". It seems to me the meaning of QRZ has somewhat changed over time. It's my understanding that QRZ means "who is calling me" and QSL means "can you acknowledge."

The app interfaces the popular QRZ resource and allows for quick access via icons on the bottom of the screen. - Search for a call sign and receive name, location information including grid, license level, license expiration, etc. - Select more icons to preview a photo, bio page, recent logbook entry (if used), etc.

Getting assistance is easy. First, any existing QRZ member whose callsign is listed can help you. If you have a friend on QRZ, just ask them to add your callsign and you're done. If you don't know anyone personally, there is a group of volunteers on the site who are eager to help you out.
