Information Search- Here's your chance to lookup an Amateur Radio
operator by call sign or name. For the U.S., one of the searches included here uses the
FCC's own database of licensed Amateurs. See if your call sign has been issued, or if your
upgrade has gone through. There is also a Canadian search engine, links to the QRZ and
Buckmaster databases, and a form for finding QSL information on-line. You can even check the daily activity log of the FCC to see what
license actions have been taken during the day, or apply for a vanity call sign on-line.
