how do I change my callsign on my account in AREDN?
recently I was assigned callsign N9MI
I had opened my account under my old call (NJ1G).
How do I change it to N9MI?

Thank you

You have registered a second time with your new call sign N9MI and it is active. Do you want us to delete your old call sign account? There is no content (forum postings etc.) associated with NJ1G.

Account name change
I see you removed an older user account.  I just got a new call sign (W6AE), and would like to substitute it for my old call sign (KF6IDO) on the system.  Is that possible, or do you need for me to create a new account?

Account name change
Please create a new account and when you activate it, I will disable the old account. This way we are assured that only you are controlling the account credentials and email address.

It won't let me register as the email address is already in use.  I'd have to use an alternate email.

I will disable your old account so you can use the existing email address. Give me 5 minutes.

Thanks - I didn't get the followup email with how to log in, but I tried the password reset process.  It worked.

I'll be posting information on an event for next year that I'll be trying to put up a mesh for it.  One person will be several miles away - trying to see if there is the ability to tunnel on a network between the two sites.

I just became NE1U. Old call is N1CZ.

Is the process the same? Just create a new account with NE1U?

Any reason the AREDN website

Any reason the AREDN website doesn’t let users change their account name or that the website doesn’t change their account when requested? Maybe at least auto follow the FCC database changesets?

What happens when someone gets the same callsign in the future and the account is disabled? Seems they would be prevented an account.

Also seems to prevent a poster from going back to their posts that receive updates.

This method just doesn't’t make sense to me.

I think a more polite way to

We do see some areas for improvement in this area.  Currently, the website requires a unique email address and there is no current automated (or self-service mechanism) to allow users to alter their login name associated with that email address.  While we look into that capability, feel free to PM any callsign changes to Randy (WU2S).
