I believe Dick is referring to the search box in
the blue horizontal band near the top of the page
on qrz.com, and is complaining that the adjacent
search button doesn't work.  Try W0RFX (zero) or
N9NL in the search box.  The usual result is a new
page with information about the corresponding
person.  (I can't test this myself right now in
Linux but it seems to work fine with Opera 9.64 in
Windows).

Thanks, Eirik for that great Opera user hint!
