Good evening, Today I received a vanity call sign in memoriam from a SK family member. My current call is KI5VKA and my new vanity is W5WMU. This was my wife's grandfather, Dr. Patrick Sonnier. What will happen to his QRZ page? Is there a way to retain the SK page for his call? I am trying to do whatever is possible to keep his memory alive and not overwrite it with my own activity. And to be a little off topic for this section of the forum - are there other things out there similar to QRZ where I need to make sure his content isn't overwritten with my own? Hope this all makes sense, W5WMU
HI JIM, CONGRATS ON BEING ABLE TO HOLD ON TO DR. PATS CALL SIGN. DR. PAT WAS WELL KNOWN TO THE FOLKS AT THE ARRL HEADQUARTERS. http://www.arrl.org/news/noted-contester-dr-pat-sonnier-w5wmu-sk REGARDING YOUR QUESTONS?? What will happen to his QRZ page? Is there a way to retain the SK page for his call? I am trying to do whatever is possible to keep his memory alive and not overwrite it with my own activity. I DO NOT HAVE ANY ANSWERS. THE QRZ MODERATORS WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTIONS. 73 - K1LKP JIM, HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF MY LOG REGARDING QSOS I HAVE HAD WID DR. PAT.
There's really nothing there at his page to save except the photo of hs station, and it appears he's been gone for 5 years now. My suggestion would be to write a nice memorial to him and include that on the bio page when you become the owner.
Thank you both. I understand I have some big shoes to fill. I'll be sure to include a memorial to him on the bio page once I'm the new owner.
