About Ham Radio QRZ Callsign Database Search
QRZ Callsign Database Search is a web lookup tool for amateur radio callsign and related records. Users can switch between several search types: callsign, name or address, biography text, USA county, grid square locator, and DXCC country list. Callsign searches accept asterisk wildcards, so W1* returns calls with that prefix and *XX returns calls ending in XX. Name/address searches match names, streets and cities, while biography search matches keywords such as KENWOOD, with letter case ignored. The DXCC list covers non-USA countries only, and county search is limited to USA counties. Coverage depends on records contributed to QRZ, and no pricing information is provided on the page.

Ham Radio QRZ Callsign Database Search FAQ
How can I find all callsigns with a particular prefix or suffix?
Use an asterisk in the callsign search: W1* finds all W1 calls, and *XX finds all calls ending in XX.
What search types are available?
Callsign, name/address, biography keywords, USA county, grid square locator, and DXCC country list (non-USA only).
Is keyword matching case sensitive?
No. In biography search, upper and lower case are treated the same, so KENWOOD also matches Kenwood.
