I have had 3 calls over the last 40 yrs. I created one account using my current call and uploaded my entire 40 yr log to eqsl. I now have 6203 qso's that show confirmation using my current call instead of my previous callsign's. The data is valid except for the callsign that shows up is my current call and not the previous 2. Not sure what to do. I also noted there is only one date range shown for one call in Profile, which I did not fill out prior to submitting my adif file.

You can do a bulk delete from your outbox based on QSO date range. Go to your outbox and bring up the Filters Dialogue. You do that by pressing on any of the 'Entries' links at the right side of the page, doesn't matter which. At the bottom of the Filters Dialogue page you will see a link: 'Delete a Group of Log Entries'. Click that link and it will ask you for the QSO date range you need to delete.

The end date on your account should be set into the future BTW, 2020 for the year is a good choice.

Thanks, that did work except for one thing. Some q's have been confirmed (279) I could not delete those. When I go to my Inbox and look at the dates, I see 13 q's that are in error based on the date I started using K4EM. In other words 13 q's were confirmed with k4em when it didn't exist. The other confirmed q's in my inbox were after the start date of k4em and they are good. When I looked at the first 2 q's that were in error there is no way to delete those. Now those 2 q's are gone from my inbox when I looked again.
I think I should have created accounts for my other 2 calls and generated an 'adif file' for each call and uploaded all 3 adif for each call.
Thanks for any help.

OK, I went to my outbox and saw how I could delete the 13 q's manually. Trying a 'group' delete did not work but individually worked. But how do I delete those from my inbox?

Dave,

You can reject those contacts from your inbox, but before you do that is the start date on that account correct? The start date on that account needs to be the date you first started using the callsign. Also I see you have not changed the end date yet into the future, you need to do that or you won't see any new eQSLs.

And yes, you should create attached accounts for your old callsigns (use the My Accounts screen for that) and upload the contacts that belong to those callsigns into those accounts.
