New Callsign Questions

Post by ku4gu »

Hello,

I have a new callsign and would like to know what I need to do within Log4OM.

Also, how does this work with LoTW? Once I change over to my new callsign in the software, will previous QSO's that I made under my old call continue to get confirmed as other stations upload their logs (using my old callsign as the distant station)?

Thanks & 73

You need to get your new cert from LOTW for the new call

At LOTW you must link your two call signs

Then set up Log4om to SE the new cert

Once that is done all will work seemlessly

I have two calls G6CNQ and G4POP and it works fine

Same applies to eqsl

On Log4OM side, simply create a new user profile with new data file. Everything that is related to the older profile (like LOTW/EQSL and other things) should be made with the old profile, everything made with the new one should be worked with the current profile.
It's like having 2 instances of Log4OM, one for each callsign.
If you want to have your QSO mixed (for statistics and confirmations) you can set the same LOG DATABASE (remember to set the STATION callsign correctly on each profile), but 2 profiles are needed (or strongly suggested) to keep both external programs configurations configured correctly.
