http://www.qrz.com is my favorite place for ham-radio information. They have a great forum and one of the biggest databases with callsigns.
A new feature is that you can find out how many hams are in your grid square /area. You can go to http://www.qrz.com/db/ and input a callsign. Click on the green barm then next to the grid square row you can put a check mark on “show” and then you will have the posision in the google map.
Will only work if you have entered grid-square or gps position in your qrz.com profile.
