My latest callsign is VK5PL from July 2015, my original call dating back to 1980 was VK5NQP.
When entering these old contacts from the '80s and '90s I have to use the original config file of VK5NQP as I understand.
To get these calls to go to the correct file in LOTW or eQSL etc, I will need to change the details on the External Logs Tab I think.
Is that all I need to do? and will these go automatically or do I have to do it manually?
Regards

Re: Entering Old QSOs under different call
All you need to do is
1. Change your call signs and details in the Options/Station info of Log4OM so that each old QSO that you enter shows that you had the QSO under your old call otherwise LOTW & eQSL etc will reject them
2. Change the data in the external logbooks tab of the Options
And your good to go

Re: Entering Old QSOs under different call
Thanks Terry, did a test run with a few more QSOs and changed the details for the external logs to my old call and those few went into eQSL OK by the looks. they do not appear under my new call. so fingers crossed, will try LOTW another day.
