Truck Driving Ham!



Posted: Jun 4, 2006 09:07 PM          Msg. 1 of 2
I am a truck driver and make the majority of my contacts while on the road. For now I am putting a note in the comment line of each eqsl of a registered eqsl user who gets a card from me indicating where I was at when I made the contact with them. This state information however is not being picked up by the WAS award figuring process. I would like it if there was an easy way to modify station location. As of now, anyone who has contacted me has credit for only missouri... my home location.

Truck Driving Ham!

By the way... after reading all the forums about this problem and seeing that the only suggested solution was to set up separate accounts for the various locations you might have operated in. OK... so be it... I decided to make a project of it, delete my entire log and upload it again broken down into the 5 or 6 states I operate in. THIS HOWEVER PROVED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO BECAUSE THE DATES OF OPERATION OF THE DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS CAN NOT BE OVERLAPPING!

What is a poor mobile truck driver ham supposed to do now?


The only thing that the present system would allow me to do to get this information in properly is to set up a new account each time I moved to a new location... lets see... in a week i cross state lines about 10 to 20 times while operating. That would be 500 to 1000 new accounts each year and a whole heck of a lot of bookkeeping work. Surely you geniuses at E-qsl can think of a way to put a state pulldown on our present accounts somewhere??
