To use AllStarLink you must be an Amateur Radio operator with a current license. That's because AllStarLink is a network of ham radio stations which only hams may transmit on. However, you may use AllStarLink for any other lawful purpose without an AllStarLink account. We use QRZ or other public databases to check the information you provide. If you are not listed in any publicly accessible database we will ask you to email a copy of your license.
When you complete sign-up, you will receive an email with a link to confirm your email address. Watch for that email and check your junk folder. You should get it quickly. Adding helpdesk at allstarlink dot org to your contacts will help keep our email out of your junk. You must click the link to verify your email address before we will see your account request. Only then are we able to verify your callsign. After we verify your call sign and information (usually within 24 hours) we'll send you an email with your account status.
Again! You CAN NOT login to your AllStar Link account until your email address has been verified (by clicking on the link we send) and we have subsequently verified your callsign.
CHANGED your CALLSIGN? If your callsign has changed please use this change callsign link to request a new call. Please do not request a new account as your existing nodes will not be moved.
Also note that it is seldom necessary to need more than one AllStarLink account. That's because each node has it's own ID and the node list shows both the account callsign and the callsign of the node. We try to prevent you from having more than one account by requiring your email address to be unique.
Club calls are best registered using the trustee's call. This prevents club calls from being requested by unauthorized people. Once you have registered and receive a node number put the club's call in Callsign field on the Node Settings page. Also put the club's name in the Affiliation field on the Server Settings page. The Node List will then show all the club's information in a logical manner.
