How do you search the call sign directory -- is it set up by city -
name - ??


Go to
www.qrz.com click on "name search". It's really a free form text
search, so you can enter "smith" or "philadelphia" or 90210.

Be careful with place names like "Beverly Hills". It's and OR search,
so you get hams from Beverly Hills, and hams named Beverly or Hills,
and hams whose street or city names include Beverly or Hills.

If you are looking for a name, it may take some work. For example,
"joe walsh" does not find the famous one, "joseph walsh" does.

73,

Geoff.
