How do I complete the QSO date ranges on the certificate request for my present callsign?
The beginning date for the certificate should either be the issue date of the first license for your call (some calls/licenses have been renewed many times) or the first date of QSOs made with that call. The ending date should be left blank. Certificates will expire after three years and will be easily renewed. Do not guess on the dates for any callsign on any certificate! Some calls have been used more than once, and some have been used many times. LoTW will only issue one certificate per callsign for any given date. If someone attempts to obtain a certificate for a call that includes a date that is already being used on another certificate (e.g,. a contest call like VP5B that is issued over and over to different people), the request will be rejected. If you believe that someone has incorrectly dated a certificate, please send a note to lotw-help@arrl.org.
