• New callsign!

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Fri Jul 10 16:47:44 2020
    Hello All,

    As of today, I am now KS4TD (my initals are STD; no, not being funny). The FCC public database is lagging so while I have my license, it probably won't be until Wednesday of next week before my new call shows up.

    What's really frustrating is that I am trying to update all of the services I use (qth.com, Echolink, et al.) and they won't do anything until the database updates ...

    73,

    Sean,

    As of today, I am now KS4TD (my initals are STD; no, not being funny).

    probably won't be until Wednesday of next week before my new call shows up.

    I have had serval calls $60/change I changed due to province living in.


    First, congratulations. Now, the rest of us jokers (hi hi), will get alternate phonetics for you!! I'm going to have to think about this
    one. Keep Searching For The Datafiles, perhaps?? <BG>

    What's really frustrating is that I am trying to update all of the services I use (qth.com, Echolink, et al.) and they won't do anything until the database updates ...

    I went through a similar deal when I changed from:

    1) N5VLZ (original callsign) to AE5WX
    2) AE5WX to WX1DER
    3) WX1DER to WX4QZ

    I was, VE2DDH,VE3LVQ,VE8XU,VY0XU,VY2WU,VY2XU. how about them apples?


    Unfortunately, I had to pay a fee for the AE5WX and WX1DER callsigns, but there was no fee for WX4QZ. The bad part is that refunds are not available...that's the government for you.

    And, I'm not changing this one again (I know, I never thought I'd
    change any of the others). But, after getting burned out on weather
    after 28 years in ham radio (and the ignorance of so many who should
    know better), I changed the emphasis to trains and railroads. But, the suffix is "QRZ without the R" -- in my case, R stands for "Radio",
    since I operate "internet only". But, at least my ham radio license
    isn't just "a sheet of paper".

    I don't think I will be leaving PEI any time soon.
