[WIQPmail] LoTW and Mobiles

[Rolf Krogstad]

A note about the way I upload mobile contacts to LOTW.
Even though I identified on the air in this contest as, for example, KE0TL
/ BAY ( call stroke county), when I upload the contacts to LOTW they go up
in individual files with the callsign as only KE0TL, not KE0TL/cty.
So if the log you are uploading as the "stroke county" as a suffix to the
callsign, it may not find a match in LOTW.
I am not quite sure how LOTW deals with that.
To be safe, strip the /BAY from a contact with KE0TL/BAY.

Does anyone know for certain how that works in LOTW?

tnx
Rolf  NR0T
