Not sure if it's a problem on my end or not but when I try to Retrieve Callsigns by Zip / Postal Code on the Amateur Radio Database it comes back with the message in the attached picture. Was just looking around in different places using different postal codes but none of them seemed to work.

 

[Rt169Radio]

I have a question,is the forum profiles going to be merged with the new user profiles?

 

[N1XDS]

The Radio Reference Forums are getting better and better over the years since I became a forum member here in late 2004. Now when the new additions to the profiles and add on's that Lindsay (blantonl) made in the features I like it. Let's see what he comes up with next with his staff members.

I tried several times with postal codes and zip codes and got that. I figured that it's a work-in-progress issue and they'd get it working eventually.

From Lindsay 's original post:...."all US Amateur Radio call signs"

...you are probably looking for non-US zipcodes.
