OFF-TOPIC: Finding nearby US hams

 

On a recent walk, I noticed a new vertical antenna a few blocks from me.? It had traps, so most likely a ham.

Back home, I was surprised to find has FCC license data organized by community.

To take a look, enter this in your favorite search engine and append a US city and state.

site: amateur radio licenses

Example:
site: amateur radio licenses Montpelier, Vermont

Neat, thanks for sharing.

FYI, the ARRL has a license look-up tool that is also pretty useful (and is available to the public, no membership required):

QRZ allows you to do the same.?

You can search by name, address, county, etc..

You can also do this on qrz. Look up your callsign and then under the Detail tab click "Explore on HamGrid Maps" just below the map. It will show you nearby hams in your grid subsquare and you can select additional subsquares as needed. The exact locations are obscured, but close enough. you can pan/zoom/click as usual on interactive maps.

Ken, Ed, Jim, Lawrence,

Thank you all for the list of alternative databases.

Jim, I appreciated the step by step instructions to the QRZ map.

These are fun to play with, especially when displayed on a map.
Each database has its own unique strengths.

Bill,

Here is a real link:

This is the one I use. Much better because it puts the location and FCC meta-data on a map. Just enter your zip cide.
