Version: 3.3 (April 1, 2024)

Accessing the Portal

Go to https://portal.ampr.org, where you should see the following UI:

Registration

  1. Click on the 'Register' button at the top right of the UI (see 'Accessing the Portal', step 1) or on the 'Register here' button in the 'ARDC New Portal' dialog box. This will take you to the following screen:

  1. Complete the field for 'What we should call you?:' and click 'Continue'.
  1. In the dialog box titled 'Registration (Step 2/3)', you will be introduced to help icons ('?') that will provide you useful information throughout the Portal. Click 'Close' to exit the dialog box.

From there, you enter your email address, a username (used to login) and a password, then click 'Continue'.

  1. You should then arrive at a dialog box titled 'Registration (Step 3/3)' that displays the Terms of Use. Read through the Terms of Use (you must scroll all the way to the bottom), and if you agree to the terms and conditions, tick both 'I AM 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER', and 'I accept and agree to the terms of this End User License Agreement', and then click 'I Accept'. Note that if you are under the age of 18, and/or if you do not agree with the Terms of Use, then you will not be able to use the Portal.

    1. Note: When you log back in on a later date you might get a notice about the addition and/or updates to the End User License Agreement (EULA). For example, if you see a dialog box titled 'The EULA has been updated.', verify that you are 18 or older and if you would like to continue using the Portal, accept the updated EULA.
  1. Upon accepting the Terms of Use, you should get a message (see below) informing you that the system is sending you an email verification with further instructions. Follow the instructions in this email.

Click 'Close', and you will then see a page that shows 'Registration Complete'.

  1. To add and verify your call sign (i.e., if you registered as an 'individual licensed radio amateur'), go to the 'Account' dropdown menu and select 'Callsigns'. Your primary call sign should show up in the 'Update your callsigns' dialog box. Clicking 'Add a callsign' in the top left-hand corner allows you to add any additional call signs you may have.

  1. On the 'Update your callsigns' UI, click 'Verify'. This will take you to a screen that details the process of verification.

[File:verify-callsign-prompt-2.png|430px]

  1. Click on the green 'Verify' button: you should see an alert saying 'Your request to verify your callsign [$callsign] has been submitted', which will create a ticket for the Portal admins to verify

your call sign. You can check the ticket by going to the 'Tickets' dropdown menu, selecting 'View my tickets', where you see it listed. To see the details of the ticket, click 'View'.

[File:view-ticket-request-details.png|430px]

Note that once your call sign has been verified, you will no longer see the ticket in the list. Alternatively, you can confirm that your call sign has been verified by going to 'Account' > 'Callsigns', and the status of your call sign verification will be displayed in the 'Update your callsigns' dialog box. Once your call sign has been verified, you will be able to request address space.
