Danny,
Right on the qrz.com look up page for N6JA it clearly states QSL via:
QSL info for FO/N6JA
Send QSL to
BRAD FISHER BP 12570 Papara TAHITI FRENCH POLYNESIA
Guess he moved there and is living the good life.
Anyway, if that is where he wants to receive QSL's I guess that is where they 
should go.

> I find the address information for FO/N6JA is incorrect in both QRZ and Buckmasters, and of course the FCC database, since both of those use that database to set theirs. I worked him as FO/N6JA ON 1/24/905 and sent a card direct to 544 NW 16th st. Newport Or. 97365, as shown in both data bases. It was returned today as not deliverable, unable to forward.l Additional info in Buckmasters gives a Tahiti address as well, then says QSL to N6JA, which when you click goes right back to the Oregon address. 
>> Why do people do that? If they dont live there, and there is no one there to handle their mail, it is then an invalid address for FCC purposes and should be changed in their data base. When I moved overseas I notified the FCC of my move, by simply giving my in-laws adddress as my new station location. They then got my mail, including QSLs, then packed it up and ocassionally sent it to me. Its quite easy. 
>> It sure would be helpful if theses travelers would do the same. First, because its illegal not to have the FCC data base updated, and second to help prevent just what happened here. 
>> Guess this is just a note to all to remember to update your FCC info when moving, not just within the USA but overseas too. Save us all time and money.
