Hello am trying to set up a new account in the for VHF/UHF but when i change the dates to start 04/29/2014 end 30/04/2014. but when I click create I get the following error message

"Sorry, the dates conflict with this existing account:

MI6NIR Start: 01-Jan-2010 00:00 End: 31-Dec-2020 00:00"

My present account dates are Start Jan. 01 2010 end Dec.31 2020

You can't have two accounts with the same callsign having overlapping dates. This is because incoming eQSLs are sorted into the correct account based on callsign and QSO date.

Are the VHF/UHF operations from a different QTH?

Those dates won't work because they are within the date range of your main account, that's what I meant by overlap. If an eQSL comes in with a QSO date of 04/29/2014 the system wouldn't know which account it belonged to.

Correct, there is no way to do that. Only thing you can do is create an account with a different callsign, MI6NIR/P for example.

BUT! If you do that you would need to make sure you sign all your QSOs using that /P callsign so that incoming eQSLs will get sorted into the correct account, and would also need to upload your QSOs to the /P account for those operations.

Way too much work in my opinion, and not worth it for what you are trying to accomplish. I would suggest to just list all your rigs on the printed on eQSLs section, you could use one line for HF rigs, and another for VHF rigs.
