My lack of success in finding anything is probably more a lack of understanding how the site should be used than anything else ( I did see the comment re AMG coordinates, but only after having been to the website and then coming here).
But, playing devils advocate, if all I have is a callsign that I want to look up, going to the website, all you are presented with is a search box to start with, so the natural assumption is you put the callsign in there. When the search comes back "no result", you kind of go "whats the use" (well, I did).
Maybe there should be some sort of instructions about what is required to use the facilities of the website on that first page.
For a suggestion of a possible useful function, how about a postcode search.
Re PO boxes, there was a site some time ago (possibly on or through a now defunct forum), that did bring up my callsign on a map, albeit located at the Post Office of course (I don't use the PO Box thing for privacy or other purposes, there is no delivery service out here in the sticks, so I naturally put the PO box in when asked for an address).
