I know that this is not exactly a new problem, but it is to me.

I have created a M0NVJ/P account and can get the eqsl card to show the different locator/venue of individual operations by way of WSJT-X comments. Recipients however keep quoting the locater from the first activation which was on the initial (/p) setup (but is not displayed on the eqsl card). I have tried to indiviualise each activation/venue by changing dates and locators per QTH but eqsl appears to want to change everything previously logged in the account to the latest alteration.

Is there a way to do this? LOTW can cope, can EQSL?

Any assistance would be appreciated as this is becoming a bit of a mess.

The way I understand it, you need to set up a separate account for every QTH, because the location information in the account is fixed.

I also have the same issue. eQSL suggest to create a new "sub"-account per SOTA-activation and DATE.
My workaround is to use my LA1RQ/P account and enter the SOTA-ref in one of the text lines, and evt use another picture if you desire.
LoTW req you to create a new QTH per SOTA-ref, quite easy.
QRZcom, qrzcq, HRDlog, Clublog accepts the logs without any trouble.
QRZ.com hasn't really seen some issues of uploads from other PC-logging software, some columns seems to be simply ignored...

Thanks for your reply Espen.
You are correct and I have created 'sub-accounts' for each indiviual activation and date(s), that has sorted the problem out.
It all looks 'top heavy' but that's the way it needs to be done.
Once again many thans for your kind assistance.

M0NVJ Colin Drury,

thanks for the information Jan-Martin; I have set up individual 'sub-accounts' for each activation (location & dates) and that has sorted the problem out. It is 'top heavy' but thats what the system needs to work properly.
Many thanks for your kind assistance.

M0NVJ Colin Drury,

Thanks for the information, OM's,

So the solution is to use a /P call sign to operate and do logging, the log will have STATION_CALLSIGN = KG6YJ/P for example, then generate sub-accounts for each different activation (QTH & dates) and upload log into a dedicated sub-account. Is my understanding correct?

If then, to upload that portable log to LoTW, you'll need another certificate for the /P call sign, isn't it?

In another word, previous/older logs without /P suffix doesn't fit eQSL system well, is that correct?

Thanks and 73,

Correct ! a sub-account for each different location...not necessarily dates. You can set a wide date range and reuse it it, if you reactivate it...

I have seen questions about activation references that do not display in the eqsl comments
if you intend the comments to go onto your outgoing eQSLs, they must be in a <QSLMSG> field, not in <COMMENT> (remains private !)


Well, I'm not a LOTW support helper, but as a user too, I can reply : yes, two certificates I use F6DKQ and F6DKQ/P


Correct, the problem is that you've worked them as KG6YJ , If you create a new KG6YJ/p account, upload the corresponding log, and they have uploaded their own log with KG6YJ, there won't be any match at all
they will have to confirm manually...but it's still feasable



The QTH of any eQSL is based on what is stored in the Profile of the sender, not what is stored in the eQSL.

Thus, all eQSLs uploaded into an account must be for QSOs made from that account's QTH.

If you operated portable or mobile with the same callsign as your fixed station, you must create a new attached account for that new QTH and upload logs for that QTH into that account.

There can be no overlapping of dates of operation between any two of the same callsign.

If the new attached account has the same callsign, you should first set the Ending Date in My Profile for the existing account,
and then create the new attached account with the correct Start Date.

It would make more sense to use a /P or other callsign indicating portable or mobile during operations, so eQSLs can be more easily delivered into the correct account.
But you would have to do this while making the QSO so the sender will use that modified callsign in his uploads.
