Welcome to QRZBook, your hub for all things amateur radio!

Originally launched in 2020 in my spare room, QRZBook 1.0 quickly became a vibrant community for amateur radio enthusiasts to connect, share insights and explore the world of radio.

As the community grew, so did the need for a modern, efficient platform that could better serve our members’ needs. After over three years of providing a space for radio operators and enthusiasts, QRZBook 1.0 was retired in July 2024 and work was started on the same day to make way for the all new QRZBook 2.0.

Fast forward to November 2024, QRZBook 2.0 is more than just a reboot… it’s a complete overhaul designed to provide a smoother, more interactive experience.

Still self hosted in our server room, but now with new dedicated server infrastructure built from the ground up. Upgraded PHP and database along with numerous other technical improvements, QRZBook 2.0 delivers blisteringly fast load times, enhanced security, and seamless functionality across devices.

We’ve listened to your feedback and implemented a range of upgrades to meet the needs of the community, from improved data handling and privacy measures to a refreshed design and enhanced forum tools.

Our commitment to the magic of amateur radio remains as strong as ever and QRZBook 2.0 stands as a testament to our dedication to keeping this community vibrant and accessible.

Thank you for being part of QRZBook’s journey…we’re excited to continue growing and evolving with you in the years to come!

Happy DXing,

The QRZBook Team!
