Introduction
After amateur radio enthusiasts and foreign stations have made contact, they often need to find the other party's contact information, send them a QSL card, and of course, the other party also needs to know your contact information. Currently, QRZ.COM is the most well-known website internationally. Our own HamCQ log system is also becoming popular. Below, I will introduce how to register and enter your information into the website database.
Homepage of the website:

Step 1:
Click "Register" in the upper right corner of the website.
Click on "Click here" on the right to access the registration page.




Please enter your call sign and email address in the steps above, then click Register to complete.

After clicking "Register", you will be prompted that a verification email has been sent to your registered email address. At this point, you need to open your email!
The following is the content of the automated verification email received from QRZ.COM:

Clicking on the link in the email will open the QRZ website in your browser, completing the final step.

Enter your account password twice, click "Submit" to complete verification, and your account registration will be completed at this point.
Log in to your newly created account.
Click on the call sign on the right side to expand the dropdown menu, then click on "Account (Account Management)".


You might be surprised to find that while your account was successfully registered, it still displays a message indicating that you are an unregistered member and cannot use the service.
This is actually a verification mechanism used by QRZ.COM. The website provides two methods for activating membership after registration.
Method 1:
Once you've created a post on the QRZ.com forum in a similar style to other HAMs, simply submit it. The administrator, EB1BSV, will take care of everything for you. After posting, just monitor the replies.

Method Two:
Please have a member who has already registered on QRZ.COM search for their call sign and use the following instructions to enter basic information: This will complete the membership registration.


Once you have completed either of these methods, your account will be successfully created, and you will become a registered member.
Log in and see if your callsign profile has been enhanced with new features!

In our next article, we will explain how to log data.
