FAQ

The fastest way is to sign in with your Google account from the Register page (or the Sign in with Google button on the Login page). The reflector administrator then performs a manual check:

• Your Google email address is compared against the e-mail you have published on qrz.com for your callsign.
• If they match, the account is approved and your callsign is added to the reflector’s user list.
• If they do not match, the admin may ask you to update your QRZ entry or to use a different e-mail address. This is the only way we have to reasonably verify that the person registering is actually the holder of the callsign. You can still register without Google by entering a callsign and password directly, but a refadmin will need to verify your identity through another channel before approving the account, which usually takes longer.

The reflector is in the process of setting up an automatic provisioning procedure for new nodes (callsign + CSR upload → signed certificate, all from the web UI). It is not yet finished. In the meantime, node registration is handled by e-mail:

1. Send a request to a reflector administrator including your callsign, the kind of node you want to connect (repeater, simplex, link, bridge, …), and the location.
2. The admin will reply with the connection parameters and either a pre-signed certificate or a CSR-signing exchange.
3. Once your node is up, expect a few short test transmissions while the admin tunes audio levels and verifies the link is well-behaved. Please be patient — administration is done in our free time. Thanks for understanding.
