Neat, I guess - but I just registered "my call sign.com" and pointed the MX record to my primary domain (my last name).
I'm working on another ham-related software project. Do you have an automated way of verifying licenses?
I was thinking of making someone add a string to the end of their qrz profile, but I'd like something a little more elegant.

- jonesetc 3y agoThe database of licenses is public through the the ULS [0], and ae7q [1] has a bunch of archives and information about how to use that and provides tools itself that I used when finding a vanity. -K5ETC [0] https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system [1] https://www.ae7q.com/query/stat/DataBase.php?SCHEMA=Lic https://www.ae7q.com/query/stat/DataBase.php?SCHEMA=Lic
- pcunning 3y agoVerifying lisences is a messy process. Most processes I have experenced ask for an uploaded (official copy) pdf from the FCC ULS. LOTW sends a postcard to the registered address. LOTW certs can be used to “prove” your identity but it’s more complicated than most will endure.
- kq4gvp 3y agoFor email.radio, I tend to just match the IP location to the address listed on the license. I also thought about using the navigator.geolocation location API to automatically verify users, but that could easily be spoofed. I do know that some use postcards and make you upload your official license. EchoLink has an option to charge your card $1 to match your billing address to your callsign address automatically. https://www.echolink.org/validation/validation_ccauth.jsp https://www.echolink.org/validation/validation_ccauth.jsp
- klinquist 3y agoHeh, I use privacy.com credit cards for all online purchases, and they approve any billing address.
