Hey y'all. Just wondering if it would be possible to change my screen name? Using my ham radio call sign is confusing to folks. If available, can we change it simply to Bob? Thanks for your time, Bob
Really? People find your screen name confusing? I must be online too much. I've gotten so used to people having nearly indecipherable screen names that I hardly notice anymore. Yours is actually one of the reasonably readable one's I've seen, though I didn't recognize it for a Ham callsign...
Screen names can be changed. I think they have to be unique and "Bob" may be taken. A lot of members just use their name or something close. Flash Blackman r_i_straw Mark Watson Ed M John Barnhill Tracy McKibben Mark Dance Phillip Cossar Jason etc. They have to be changed by special request. Please email support using the contact in the support forum. That will get you started.
Unfortunately the User Name "Bob" is already taken. Problems with N7CZ? Hmmm. Well, see what you can come up with and then..... Boxcab E50
How about BobN4Trains? Ham_Bob? Just not Spam_Bob... When I was promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel I had a screen name changed on another forum MAJTerry > LTCTerry. If I get promoted again I will have a hard time changing. Maybe it's a good thing that the Colonel promotion rate is microscopic? Bob - you could be Bob_TSNFKAN7CZ - Bob the screen name formerly known as N7CZ! Is CZ California Zephyr or just a coincidence? Terry
Some valid points. Some humor as well. After thinking it over, I'll just keep my call sign as my screen name. Notbody else would want it... Oh, the CZ has nothing to do with trains or railways. It sounded cool on CW at high speeds.
