Greetings, I have been playing with contesting for a few years now mainly S&P. One of the questions I have is about "claiming a freq" and calling CQ. The way that I have been doing it is: 1. Find a q
original Wonder no more! First with banks you have already proven who you are when you opening the account most likely in person. If not then there was some snail mail for signature forms. Just try
Greetings, The password you must enter is the password for the private key of the cert you are signing it with. ie: Your original call sign password, which is the same password that you used to sign
Hi, I don't speak for the ARRL, but my guess is that if you send in a signed cert request signed with your current cert, that will do the the trick. Be sure to confine the valid dates to the time tha

If ARRL used their own membership files then you could by a cert for the cost of a membership. I have seen the fake paper cards and the length the DX went to fake them. That is one of the reasons th
What proprietary nature? TrustedQSL is open source with a free public license. The use open standards for certs. Anyone can compete with them on even ground. They can even compete with them using AR
Jim and the group, This is where I have to disagree, digital signatures CAN NOT be forged. While I understand your concern because of your personal experience with your debit card, but I can ensure y
Gerald, enjoy .. Connectivity is a very important point. This is one of the reasons that a web only eqsl system without digital signatures is lame. If each QSO is signed with a digital signature, it
