I am frustrated to no end. Seems that I can't change the info in my new "Home" acct. w/o the server saying that the grid square is invalid. As well, the old street address in San Diego populates the new card from Scottsdale. Anyone got any ideas?

If you moved to a different grid square, change your profile to have an end date of whenever you moved, then open a new profile with the same callsign and new grid square with a start date of whenever you moved and an end date far in the future.

A limitation of eQSL is that you can't change your grid square once entered. This is because doing so would retroactively change all the eQSL cards you've submitted, as best I can tell. So when you move, you make a new profile in your account.

So you should end up with a KC7ES that starts (whenever) and ends 25 May, 2009 with your old grid square, and an profile of KC7ES that starts 25 May, 2009 and ends (whenever) with the new grid square.

Thanks for the response. In fact, that's what I did...set and end date on the SD acct to earlier this year, then set up a new acct. for the current qth. Problem really is this: The profile retains the old physical street address in San Diego, though shows the correct (DM34) grid square for Scottsdale, AZ. When I go to change the stree address, and save the changes, I get an error message saying I can't change the grid square (not that I tried to). So bottom line is this: My new qsl cards have the wrong street address in them. I'm just trying to square everything up...and that's the frustrating part.
