Others have provided the answer, but here's how I find a call for a name.
1. Go to QRZ.com home page.
2. Scroll down to "New Hams" link on the left and select it
3. In the text at the top of the changes list, there is a link
"an official web site" that takes you to the ULS database, click it.
4. Select the "Licenses" button on the list at the top of that page.
5. Pick the type of search, and enter you key text.
Now, the interesting thing is that when you search by name, you can enter
as much matching text as you want. But, there is no fielding. Thus, if
you want to find all entries that match "walsh" as the last name, and start
with "j", you can enter
walsh, j
making sure that you include the space after the comma. You will see that,
in this case, you get all the "Walsh, Jr" entries first. So, if you add
some more characters, such as
walsh, joe
You will fail to find this particular entry because it is registered with
his full first name of "Joseph".
Play with the keys some and you'll discover what works and what doesn't...

I had the darn page marked for having your email alerted for emergency
beacons, but now for some reason I cant find it (must be old age) can
someone mail it to me again so I can use my stone tablet and chisel to mark
it again?
Thanks

To bring the subject back on topic, in APRS+SA with the APRS+SA extensions
installed, you can do name lookups to an internet connected station running
APRS+SA by sending that station a message, and in the message text putting
the following:
N:Martin Maxwell
The name lookup can also use name, street name, city, or other "name"
information, example:
N:Maxwell AZ
The Lookup uses the QRZ web site. And I have uploaded an updated
XLOOKUPNAME.W3 file to the APRS+SA FTP site at TAPR to make the lookup work
again. For stations with APRS+SA that want this feature, you need to
install the APRS+SA extensions, and put the updated XLOOKUPNAME.W3 file into
your main APRS+SA directory.

When I went to do this the first time, I thought I would save some money
and buy an old mouse out of bargain box for $1.00. It didn't work, the
cord didn't have the right wiring in it. The second time, I bought an
old Compaq keyboard for $2.00 out of a bargain box. It didn't have the
right wiring either, so after $3 wasted money and 2 separtate trips to
Columbus, The THIRD time I bought a brand new KVM switch to computer
cable (it has males on both ends) for $7 and cut it in half. Getting
you 2 TNC to Radio cables for the price of (in my case) $5 each. I
should have done that the first time. Dabnabit.

I've got tons of dead mice too, and I'm generally all for scavenging
whatever I can, but really, what's wrong with paying $1.12 to buy one new?

I think the connectors are not more than $3 each, even at the overpriced
local electronics store. Of course, I don't even have a radio with mini-din
output, but I use the inline version for connecting my flight helmet
electronics to the gear in my paraglider harness.

The barrels on these are frequently too large to fit in the plastic where
the connectors are recessed.
I use mouse extension cables, which DO have one wire per pin.
Mouse cords are almost always missing one critical pin.

Several of us in SC are coordinating SC Digital Day to be held Sept 27 from
approx 9am until 4pm. Locations include: Rock Hill, Sumter, Florence and
Charleston.
The classes will cover APRS, Echolink/IRLP, and PSK31. I have created a
syllabus containing topics we'd like to discuss. It's really unlikely that
we will get to all the subjects, so it is more realistic that we will cover
maybe 1/3rd of the material listed. In an effort to provide a diverse group
of people material, I'm enlisting people who would like to throw together a
PPT file for each subject that could be covered in 5 to 10 minutes. All of
our presenters will have the same material to draw from and we want to be
able to set up comms between sites using APRS, Echolink and PSK31.

Subject: Connecting a TinyTrak to a HT
From: Brad <BradLists@HeritageQuest.com>

X-Message-Number: 21
I am trying to find the molded connectors for Kenwood and Relm HTs to
interface to a TinyTrak. The Relm I think uses the same one as Icom, Radio
Shack, etc.
Anyone know who sells them? I was going to try separate cords for the mic
and speaker jacks but I was hoping for a cleaner final kit. I would prefer
the molded style with a 36" cord that I can then build the other end on.
Thanks in advance...
