Hi there, I have recently obtained a second callsign ZL3PW but see that it is still assigned to someone who sadly went silent four years ago. I don’t not know that person as I have only recently returned to amateur radio after a very long break, but gather he was well respected in the local community. I would like to know how to respectfully change him to silent key and allocate the call sign to me without announcing it afresh on the silent keys forum. I found this obituary: https://deaths.press.co.nz/nz/obituaries/the-press-nz/name/peter-foster-obituary?id=40296952. Thankyou.
I'm sure that one of the helpers can release the callsign to you. What I would do is put something about Peter in your bio, that it was his callsign previously along with some nice words.
Hello Phillip, nice to meet you, My name is Julio Cesar, I am QRZ moderator and I am going to help you with the registration process to be added in our database. You will be added as soon as possible and you will get other post here with information about how to manage your account . Thank you. Request in progress
Hi. Have a fellow club member who has received his call sign VK3AAH issued by the Australian Government authority ACMA. As you can tell by QRZ, this call was last used Jan 2024. Not sure it is a silent key or a surrended call and Andrew now has this call sign. Please advise on the process on how to address this as Andrew would like to add his details to QRZ.com. Mark VK3MFE.
If Andrew is a QRZ member, he can submit a ttrouble ticket at https://ssl.qrz.com/support to request that the callsign be reassigned to him. He will need to provide documentation showing that he is the valid holder of the callsign now, so please have him include a copy of his amateur radio license showing both his full name and his callsign. If not, then you could possibly add him as a managed callsign under your account, but this can be problematic in the long run. The much easier approach is for him to become a free QRZ member and then do what I previously suggested.
Hi There, I hope you all are well. I have a question, If there is a call sign as silent key, that is managed by another call sign, please let me know if I will be able to manage that if the call sign is now under my licenses. Thank you, 73.
If the callsign is now legally assigned to you, then you will need to submit a trouble ticket at https://ssl.qrz.com/support to request that the callsign be reassigned to you, either as your primary callsign or as a managed callsign. Be sure to include documentation showing that you are now the duly authorized holder of that license, such as a PDF or JPG copy of your amateur radio license.
