After 34 years as KD6NFD I have a new vanity call sign - K6KH. I’m excited to start using it and have started making a list of stuff I need to go update. What am I missing?
LOTW, local log book, QRZ (updated automatically), new QSL cards, digital software -WSJTX, SSTV etc, new email, Mastodon account, ARRL, radio power on displays, club badge and docs
@kd6nfd Beautiful new call, congrats!
I changed from DJ1YFK to DJ5CW after "only" 23 years and I never looked back.
My old call is still my user name in some places where it'd be a pain to change (for me and for others - cool URLs never change).
@kd6nfd Congrats on the new call!
Your update list looks good. You'll want to check all the websites that use your callsign (QRZ, ARRL, LotW, POTA, Ham Radio Outlet and DXE and others). Those and any/all software that uses it.
I seem to recall I had an issue with one site that wanted to keep using my old callsign with my account, but I think they finally relented and allowed people to update their username/callsign.
@kd6nfd you'll need to do this, but just not a different server
