Bob Bruninga's APRS, the tactical display application par excellence of hams 
on the move, is immensely popular because it is so useful.  Well, Sylvain, 
VE2FET, just made it even more so by incorporating a handy new "function" 
into the already sophisticated system.

>From your APRS software, simply write an APRS message to DOQRZ and any 
amateur Call Sign as the sole Message Content.   Abracadabra and the clever 
interface will instantly link up to AA7BQ's world famous QRZ.COM website, 
fetch the station's particulars from Fred Lloyd's giant database and send 
them back to you on a flat bed.

All this, while you're driving at 70mph on the Interstate or elsewhere on 
the globe, in a car, a truck, an airplane, a boat, etc...

When your packet/APRS message is received by DOQRZ you will receive QRZ.COM 
info on the requested callsign.

Just try it, you'll see, it works!

Spread the word to the ones you know who use APRS.  Especially usefull when 
mobile or portable.

Thanks Sylvain and thanks again Fred!!!

**Note 1: DOQRZ is "Delta Oscar... not Delta Zero...".
