Regarding uploading your ham license to Remotehams as a PDF file, I had
difficulties doing that too. In fact, I gave in to my pride and ask for
sighted assistance from my Son who is a computer guru, and he couldn't get
it to work either. So, we ended up scanning it in as a .jpeg file and
uploaded that, and it worked perfectly the first time we tried it. They
claim you can use a variety of graphic file types, but I think the best one
to use is a .jpeg file.

Hi Dave:

Well, I tried what you suggested, and still know luck with the pdf here
using internet explorer 11 or firefox. Guess I'll have to have someone take
a picture of the license after I print it out and convert it to a .jpg file
to get this to cooperate.  Any other ideas welcome. Thanks.

Subject: info about registering with Remote hams

Hi all!

Since I have a US license and a ZL license, I decided to register a separate
account with Remote hams for storing the ZL license.

The only caveat I encountered in this process was that the system only
allows you to register one email address per callsign. That was not an issue
because I registered another valid address that I monitor for the ZL call.

After receiving the expected email verifying my registration, I used the
activation link in the Email.

Next, it was time to upload my ZL license to get that into my ZL4LDY
profile.

This was ccomplished using the option in the RC Forb client.

Choose browse, locate and select the PDF file, and press the send file
button.

This resulted in a page that said my license was successfully uploaded.

I don't recall seeing that confirmation when I uploaded my US license, but
there have been Jaws updates since that time, as well as RC Forb updates, so
I can't be certain which update allowed for the more satisfying experience,
but regardless of what it was, I was more pleased with the process on this
occasion.

I know a few folks have encountered difficulty with this, so thought I'd
report the experience here to give encouragement.

I can't be certain whether or not the browser matters, but it may since the
site does warn that it uses cookies to simplify the login process. In case
that does matter, the browser I'm using is Internet Explorer version
11.0.9600.8098.

If you're one of those that found this a trial, it may be possible to get
through it more easily now compared to a few months ago.

73,
