When I moved to a new QTH, different state, a different ARRL section, but still within CQ Zone 5,  I got a new LOTW certification for the new QTH. Therefore when I upload to LOTW I chose the Start date of the upload in DX4W to LOTW. My reasoning is that when I apply for WAS awards I can

I wrote the owner of DX4WIN asking for an updated license key for my new call.  Hope that does the trick.  Thanks for that suggestion. Lauren, W4LEW On Friday, December 15, 2023 at 05:59:25 PM EST, Ricardo Navarrete wrote: You have to ask for an updated key file for your new

I do not remember but it may be tied to the license for that software when you paid and received your key. I cannot change mine either, it really does not matter.   Your call is not really associated to the QSOs in your database. Unlike LOTW where you need a certificate for each call. Make

Thanks for the quick replies. Glad to hear I can continue to use the same log. All good info. I did attempt to go into file preferences in DX4Win and in the personal tab I am unable to update my call sign. What am I missing in terms of doing that? or is that info really of no consequence?

Hello Lauren, Congrats on your new callsign. I have six different callsigns (all USA) and keep ALL of my QSOs in one log file. (I only have continental US activity) They all count the same for DXCC and WAZ. If you only have one location, they also all count the same for WAS and VUCC. If you
