Change of callsign and logs

Post by Pa0ply »

Hi,

I will set up a new log for a clubstation on a new computer.
We do have an adif file with a lot of stations logged.

We would like to import this log.
That should not be a problem, however we may face to the following situation soon:

- the clubstation callsign will change soon.

Q: How can I change this?
Q: As the log was imported for the old clubcall, what will happen to this log?

I think you can import the current club station log normally and create a new profile in the user configuration after the call sign changes.
Before changing your call sign, complete the eQSL and LoTW account settings and common settings. Create a new profile based on this profile when you change to a new call sign.
Don't forget to switch profiles when processing different callsigns (uploading and downloading eQSL, LoTW, etc.).
This way they should be treated as different things. I don't know anything about award management.
