First, I'd like to say thanks for all the hard work everyone has put into EQSL. I get better confirmation rates here than with LOTW.

I'm interested to know if anyone has posed a question like this before, please point me to the thread so I can get up to speed on it if this topic has been raised before.

My question is: Some of my operating activities are portable, while some others are for specific events, etc. and is there any interest at EQSL to allow users to specify that a certain uploaded graphic be used as the card for a certain range of dates? This implies a user having multiple versions of card designs, so maybe it could be an incentive to upgrade one's membership in order to have such a feature? I'd love to have a card that shows my shack as it was for a 1990's contact, but have a more recent picture in a card for a recent QSO.

In my case, I have also operated in certain contests, and want to use a particular type of card for those contacts, but for other operating, I would want to use a different graphic that centers on other activity.

Thanks in advance, KA1IOR

Geoff,
The only way I know of to have a different eQSL picture for different occasions, is to have a seperate account for each one of them. You can then link those accounts together so they will maintain your silver membership and your AG status. Home QTH, Portable or Lighthouse accounts can have overlapping dates and different graphics. However, if you set up an 'Old QTH' account with one graphic and a 'New QTH' account with another graphic, make sure the QTHs dont overlap dates. If your accounts are in different grids, counties or states, they will share DX confirmations for the eDX awards, but will have seperate eWAS counts.
Lots to think about here, but hope it helps.
