    QRZ.com blocks Russian callsigns

    I personally disagree. But you have to remember QRZ.com is not ours but in possession of an USA HAM called AA7BQ Fred. He can do what he wants with
    his site. I do remember he had some issues before regarding a "black lifes matter" call. Many USA Hams are very shortsighted and I think it has to do
    with culture and might sometimes be an education issue.
    You might read YO3HJV's blogpost because that translates my vision on it as well. Banning Russian radioamateurs from our community is just as stupid as
    not working them any more. This does not add anything to peace, it just
    makes it worse for all.
    QRZ.com is not the only site to find info on hamradio operators... https://www.hamqth.com/

    https://www.qrzcq.com/

    https://hamcall.net/
    Although, not using QRZ.com or removing your QRZ info from the database
    doesn't add anything as well. I hope Fred will have some regrets and try to help those in need in another way.
    Update: https://qrznow.com/qrz-com-reconsidered-and-reversed-russians-blocking-action/ Glad Russian HAMs are back into the database...
