Oh. Oh. I belong to Ham Radio Nation. It is exactly like Savage Nation, except it is totally different. You get to get on there and friend some other hams who have similar interests as you have, like, say, ham radio, and you can send them private messages and stuff. I am so busy making friends there is little time to do anything else.

Hmmmm, I guess I really wouldn't know. Maybe I should have added a disclaimer or something that should have read, "Danger - Potential For Amateur Radio Content That May Be Offensive To Some", there is that better? ;)

The Savage Nation? That doesn't have to do with the columnist Dan Savage, does it?

I was just being silly. Savage Nation is a reference to right-wing fuckwit Michael Savage and his radio show (http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/).

Maybe we should introduce Michael Savage to Dan Savage.

Talk about lulz!

Looks like a zippier QRZ. You know, more modern and updated. Good luck on their endeavor. Or is that, devour?

Hello.

I saw that website and the very first thing that came to mind was a cookie jar tube.

A lot zippier than QRZ now... I tried going to QRZ after their update once. On start, the new look made my eyes hurt (Looks like Gaia Online now), and secondly, it's slower than molasses...

Hello.

QRZ had just installed their mobile app and in order to make it appear that the mobile app was fast they slowed the entire site down was my guess. ;)
But, the Zed was for sale for quite some time, perhaps this was an effort to make it more attractive to buyers? if so, it was a major failure, as anyone can hit the wayback machine and see what it was like.
Or, it was decided that the Zed needed a little remodel, kind of like
