Is there a way to delete our own callsign (s)

[Richard Garcia]

I have recently revamped configurations for my callsign (K4GPS) and my wife's (N2RHU) with new SSID's. I am wondering if there is a way for me to delete the old calls (SSID's) so it's not as confusing.  I am also seeing some data which is outdated since I moved radios around. I have a mix of Kenwood, GD-77 on a TYT HT, Anytone for a 878 and a KPC-3 for my digi. I think some of that may be conflicting now at times. I would like to start of with a clean slate.

Callsigns are never deleted, but they do "fade" over time.

So in just a few days (I week if I remember it right) you won't have any data of the "old" callsigns you used)

No, not really, at this time. If there would be a way for you to delete
the data on aprs.fi easily, there would be a way for others to delete your
data too, and that would be a bit annoying. This is one of the drawbacks
of a system which does not have authentication. On the Internet, it is
difficult for a web site to figure out if an user is a specific person who
would be the owner of a specific callsign.

You might have to send new information with the devices to hide or replace
the outdated information. For example, PHG data may be removed by sending
"PHG0" in the beginning of the comment text. Similarly, new comment &
status messages may be sent.
