Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN
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 separate old vs. new QTH based on the date of the QSOs. As for WPX or WAZ awards I don’t think that it matters within LOTW for those awards.

Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign
Thanks all. I made sure I had uploaded all my QSOs with old call to LOTW before the call sign switch occurred. I applied for new LOTW certificate this morning. I also inquired about a new license key for DX4WIN from owner, but it sounds like that is not really necessary. I see QRZ updated today so sounds like last housekeeping chore will be to ensure club log gets new and old call signs linked. Thanks for all the help.

Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN
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 sure you get a new certificate for your new call, but do not delete your old call certificate. Keep both active to get proper QSO matching on LOTW Rich On 12/15/2023 17:53 PM, Lauren Ware via DX4WIN wrote: Thanks for the quick replies. Glad to hear I can continue to use the same log.

Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN
When I was using DX4WIN, I set my old call QSOs as Group 1 (or whatever you have available). Then my new call was Group 0 default. The QSOs stay in the same log for tracking purposes. I also used other groups for operating from work club station, when I went portable 7, etc. Some use groups for different contests. Helps with sorting for sure.

Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN
I too have multiple past call signsbut only keep one log in DX4WIN. But in places like QRZ and LOTW, I do break them out. Works for me.

Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN
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 move to a new state or grid, simply set the start date for those awards to the date you moved. It is easy to set up a selection (Filter > Selection > Date Selection) to get separate data for each callsign. --- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Lauren Ware via DX4WIN Sent: Friday, 15 December, 2023 08:35 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN So this morning I got an email from the FCC that my new call sign was granted.
