Changing Regional Secondary Locator
Info
This article was written by operator Dave M7TLB, for the Amateur Radio community.
Reach out to me via QRZ for any additions and omissions.
This is a new article, and thus a work in progress.
I've had a couple of occasions to change my RSL, both related to HM The Queen in some way or other. There are a few things to change when doing this, so I'm making a list here of things that I have to do to accommodate it.
Where I have applied a specific Regional Secondary Locator against any of the items listed below, I will suffix them with the appropriate letter, currently #.
Shack PC¶
- Change Callsign on WSJT-X, JS8Call, FLDigi.
- Change Callsign and Station ID in GridTracker
Online services¶
- Change active logbook in Cloudlog, including creating a new logbook if not simply a geographical change.
# - Update QRZ page with relevant details, including creating a new Alias if the RSL has never been used before.
#
Messengers¶
- Change Telegram name
# - Change Signal name
# - Change Matrix name
# - Change Jitsi name
#
Social media¶
- Change Twitter name
# - Change Facebook nickname
# - Change Mastodon nicknames (mastodon.co.uk, mastodon.radio)
# - Change Discord server profiles (14, at last count)
