Hi,
I was QRV until 15.February 2023 from EA8 wih LOC IL07xs - VaraC gave the current Loc - all ok
Now since 16.February I am in HB9 with Loc JN47gq -
I have changed in the settings my new locator, also checked the .ini files but everywhere the new JN47gq is set.
But the PSK Reporters Map still recognizes me in EA8.
Where is the reason ?

Your CQ/Beacon does not include locator.
and neither your "temporary" prefix.
So a station that spot you, report Pskreporter your callsign only.
PSKreporter has a featue that if no locator is provided with the spot, it uses interntet dictionaries such as qrz.com.
Only if you have a valid QSO and send your locator as part of it, the other side will repot your locator. but since most of the PSK reports are based on Beacons/CQ, this will not be reflected on the PSK map.
Until a VARA beacon/CQ will include a locator (and no plans for this at the moment), then if won't be possible.
