[600MRG] Part 5 callsign alias's on QRZ

[John Langridge]

Something that will help the 630m listener A LOT is to add an Alias to your personal ham QRZ page.  Many of us already do so and this would have helped the gentleman that I was corresponding with this morning for a number of callsigns.
its very easy to do.  You simply log into QRZ (there is a process to register your callsign if you have not already done that) and hover over your callsign on the blue page menu bar on the right-hand side of the screen.  Select Edit from the drop down and select "Update the basic callsign data".  On the next screen there is an "alias" section and you can "add" your part 5 callsign to the box along with a description. Save the changes and select "Done" from the screen you are returned to and thats it...
When a user enters your part 5 callsign at QRZ, it will immediately forward to your main callsign with a note at the top that your part 5 callsign is an alias of the main callsign.
Give that some thought.  its very easy to do and it helps the guys who do and do not have any idea what we are doing...
