Hi Stu

I'm sorry I messed things up.

I'm very happy with the way you fixed my setup, and I will consider your advices.

Thank you very, very much for your quick response and your great work on my accounts!

Two accounts with identical QTH - how on earth did this happen, you could ask?

Well, it's my fault! Utter misunderstanding on my side how eQSL accounts work:

I assumed I have to create a new attached account when I change my eQSL design. So I got two accounts: "HomeQTH" and a new one "HomeQTH2" with identical QTH but different start/end times ("HomeQTH" = period before, "HomeQTH2" = period after eQSL design changed).

Later I had to learn this idea wasn't clever. When applicating for eQSL awards the manager complained about my odd account construction.

So I went to undo my work, I tried to change start/end times of my accounts, but I failed: They could not be altered afterwards.

My plan then was to kill the second account and merge its outbox into the first account.

So I backup'd the outbox of the second account, deleted it, and expected being able to erase this account. But that didn't work: Confirmed (retrieved) eQSLs aren't allowed to be deleted from the outbox.

So I have no more ideas how to fix this trouble. Any hints appreciated!

Mobile with many QTH's » Easy way to create a vacation QTH (account) Jul 18, 2015 02:01 PM (Total replies: 8)

Thanks Dave, for sorting out the thing in detail! Now I realize the issue is a date conflict on incoming QSLs. So there is no other solution than using a /p callsign.

Well, I think I can cope with that.

> Here is the situation i guess many OM's have (at leat if they use SOTA, GMA, etc., frequently)

Yes, me too. Thank you for mentioning this topic, Malte!

I'm going to have short, repeated WCA/COTA activities at an ancient castle situated very near to my home QTH (on the same WW locator).

So I decided to get a separate new attached eQSL account for these activities: callsign DG4GAT (without '/p'), same locator as in my primary account, but a different QTH nickname.

But I get the same issue as you told, Malte: eQSL doesn't accept this kind of setup, complains about conflicting dates. The QTH nickname does not seem to be a distinguishing feature when creating a new account.

If this would be possible - David, you are right! - it would definitely save some work, and along the way I could keep a better clear view over all my eQSL accounts.

No complaints here for my part! Just a well-intentioned gentle suggestion, and all my respect and thanks for the voluntary work.
