This is a crazy QRZ.com hack. Let me know in the comments below where this hack would be useful.

Now I'm considering putting mine to zero, say maybe before a pota activation, or before going on the air and streaming contacts live... to quickly see a lookup county after the fact... or just for no good reason at all. I'm gonna do it now, just because you made this video.
Actually that's a good idea.
Seems like the developer didn't understand the assignment 😂
I think there are a lot of assignments over there that are not understood.....
This is probably left over from 1997 when HTML programming and webpage counters were cool.
It might have something to do with multiple call signs but to allow you to edit it is funny!
Old MySpace code. Lol.
I think you are on to something. I have had 4 different calls. I wonder if the higher number is the accumulated lookups from them all combined???
I knew that this was a problem for a while....I never quite understood why you can change your lookup number? I think it's an old legacy thing they never fixed.
There are a lot of things that go into black holes over there....mainly forum rules....lol
@@AA0Z Yeah it's a cesspool of grumpy hams. I don't frequent that anymore - prefer more positive stuff
Thats pretty cool but also good that it still keeps the real lookup stats. Could be useful for daily counts for POTA etc.
This however could upset some Sad HAM's.😅
Exactly!
The people that have higher 'real' numbers than the editable visible one - maybe those are API lookups from logging software using QRZ to pull info and not actual web visits?
Good point. I would think a lookup is a look up?
@@AA0Z I would too, but something is getting out of sync somewhere. Or maybe it's when people change call signs and one counter resets and the other doesn't?
@@BrianFields have no idea. All valid points.
Some companies would pay you for finding and reporting on a bug like that. I would check into that before leaking it to yt next time.
It's not a bug...I checked.
@@AA0Z awesome! Lol
Yeah, that shouldn’t be editable. Someone failed. LOL! 73!
Totally agree. It's one number..not a number you can dream up.
the more i look at it.. i think its a cumulative count on that callsign. If you're not the original owner of it.
Maybe...
HI Kyle, it would be good for "recycled" calls, especially for special events like W0W that might be used for different events.
Good point. But why is it like that on every QRZ page?
I would think that you would want to reset the counter if you got a previously-owned vanity call. But probably the real reason for it being everyone is so they don't have to decide who gets the functionality.
Would you mind sharing how you linked the pota stats that table is really nice.

Yeah, that definitely shouldn't be something users can edit.
I totally agree.
I have never really paid attention to that but I found it interesting that the lookup number on my page is over 3000 lower than the red number on the edit page. I wonder how that could be? I have never messed with this, odd.
Who knows. If you figure it out, let us know!!!!
in the DETAILS you still see the correct number 😀
Kyle post this and the next day the QRZ site is down. Coincidence or did he unlock the matrix?
I'm inside your head.....
hahah i was thinking the same thing .. But oddly .. not sure that number to the right of your lookups that you cant edit is legit.. Ive only been a ham for a couple years and that number on mine says 54272 ..but my actual is 8450 or so. maybe it means something else.. OR perhaps for mine its cumulative for who's ever owned the callsign as i took over my dads callsign when he passed in 2020.. so maybe they allow you to reset it on transfer.
Could make a script that routinely changes it to 68 or 419 or 1336 or 80084 for the luls or something.
I'm just going to leave mine a zero all the time. LOL
Been there for years. Not sure why.
Nobody knows....
checked mine it shows 62,917 on the internal number and only 39,600 or so on the external... weird.
nobody knows what's going on...LOL!!!
Should I try the 30 day trial?
No reason I can think of.
Just leave that alone 😢! They can make the original views to a million views.
LOL
Is the sub worth it
Is it?
Yeah you’re reply to me is LOL! Ham that deserves to have the correct number of views has wasted their efforts to got the numbers of view because of your money making non sense video.
I have no idea what you are saying.
Because you posted it directly to my email. NOT HERE! sk dit dit
@@KE6TE you have a setting wrong. I only reply to comments here. If it went to your email, that's on you.
I don't remember ever editing mine, but my number is 8735, however, next to it in red is 19,124 which I guess is the real number?
Nobody knows!!!
@PaulReedy are you the original owner of your callsign? I think its a cumulative count on the call sign if you're not the original owner
@@K6WRF I've had it since 1982. I wonder if the editable number started at zero when I registered with QRZ?
