[WIQPmail] WIQP and LOTW

[Craig Larsen]

Hmm, this does make me wonder whether I should also upload my logs as just
my callsign. Also, Mike, I like the idea of always having a message on my
QRZ page saying I typically log my mobile contacts as /m.

As you said, they can contact us if they have issues of any kind. Good
feedback!
