That's what happens - it appears that when no grid square is present in
its database, QRZ sends AA0aa, which is in Antarctica. Obviously we
need to fix this, because while not having a grid on QRZ's Details page
is rare, it is not unheard of. I think we should default to the center
of the country or call area (for large countries)denoted by the
callsign. I have written to a couple of guys who may be associated with
OL7D.

What happens to the RBN when there is no QRZ listing for a particular
callsign? Clearly OL7D is somewhere in the Czech Republic and not
Antarctica.

Can someone tell me how to get in contact with this station, active this
weekend in WAE RTTY? The station's QRZ entry lacks the Detail Page,
which means that all of their spots on the RBN are being mapped to
Antarctica at 0 degrees longitude. I assume they would prefer this is
not the case.
