Support - German » Wie kann mein Rufzeichen geändert werden? May 22, 2022 10:47 AM (Total replies: 1)

Für ein neues Rufzeichen musst du ein neues Nutzerkonto eröffnen. Das kannst du aber mit dem alten verbinden ("Attach" ist das Stichwort), so dass du mit einem Login Zugriff auf beide hast. Beim alten Rufzeichen trage im Profil das Enddatum ein, dann gibt es keine Verwechslungen.

I've been told on several occasions that, as it is, one would indeed need a separate account for each QTH (and time period, if one goes back and forth between places). There has been talk of changing this, but it hasn't happened yet. Not sure why. Hence I keep asking for paper QSLs for most of my portable operations, and have to reject many eQSLs for this reason. in order to keep my account manageable. I, too, would welcome the possibility of changing the QTH for every QSO if necessary.

Non, il faut "attacher" un nouveau compte avec le nouvel emplacement. Sinon, le nouveau locator sera enregistré pour les anciens QSOs aussi. C'est une source d'erreurs.

Du müsstest für jeden Standort und jede Aktivitäts"epoche" ein eigenes Profil anlegen. eQSL gibt nämlich automatisch den im Profil gespeicherten Locator usw. an den Empfänger weiter, und wenn der etwas anderes im Log hat, kann er deine eQSL nicht guten Gewissens annehmen.

Wenn freilich die Daten für die Standorte überlappen, wird es schnell unübersichtlich, dann ist vielleicht eQSL nicht das Mittel der Wahl.

I believe you have done the proper thing. To the best of my knowledge, such restrictions as you mentioned do not exist any more, and even if they do, the operators could still sign with their own callsign - after all, that's what it is for. If another one is used, well, then the QSO is with that other one. You can only log what you hear. If the operators do not tell you their callsigns on the air, you haven't had a QSO with them. Operators sending QSLs with their own callsign without having mentioned them on the air is bad practice and should not be encouraged.

Mobile with many QTH's » Back and forth plus mobil qth's Jul 30, 2021 08:38 AM (Total replies: 10)

If I may add my 2 cents worth - I don't mind if an eQSL record of a QSO only becomes available after some processing time, even if it takes a day or two. I also don't mind having multiple accounts for every callsign and fixed QTH that I have had. But I would find it rather inconvenient to have many different accounts for my portable operations, some of them perhaps even split into multiple parts because I worked from one place first and returned to it only after making some QSOs from other places. It becomes even more awkward if I only made a small number of contacts from some of these places. Regrettably, I had to reject a few dozens of eQSL requests for that reason.

My preferred solution would be to make the QTH and associated information an array of variables (containing e.g. place name, Locator, administrative unit, IOTA number) that can be defined by the user and stored en bloc in some sort of menu, from which I could select one for each entry. Not sure how that would work with the current structure of the database, though.

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.

Other suggestions » AG seal automatically on eqsls? Mar 8, 2021 09:53 AM (Total replies: 1)

Some say that in order to put any sort of logo on EQSLs one should have acquired a higher level of membership than the regular one. For anything that has not to do with eqsl, such as club logos or award badges, I agree. However, the AG seal is something different. It shows the status of being verified and is therefore more akin to a quality seal which IMHO should be displayed by default, no matter the membership level. It would also have the advantage of being able to tell from a printout of an eqsl - even without a computer - whether the sender has the AG status or not, something which currently requires a logon and a manual check. What do you think?

I've got a QSO record in my archive where the sender apparently has no graphics stored for his EQSL at all. The operator has not been logged on for about three years, it is therefore unlikely that my attempt to contact him will be answered. Upon asking for a display, the above error message appears.

As I'd like to be able to store the graphics file of an EQSL for my personal records, I'd like to suggest that in such cases a "default" EQSL be created using one of the freely available backgrounds. A single color (blue or yellow) background might be the most appropriate for this purpose.

If an administrator needs more information on the record in question, please send me an e-mail.
