[amsat-bb] lotw

[Clayton Coleman]

There is a limitation of some logging programs that will not track or
properly display your contact with a rover on a grid line. You may
need to enter multiple log entries if you want the program to track
your grids to see what is confirmed and what is not.  Again, this is
not a function of LoTW.

As someone who does lots of rover and grid line operations, I create a
new TQSL Station Location for each operating position.  I enter the
proper state and the grids separated by a a comma and space.  I don't
upload multiple log entries for the contacts I make while rover.   I
upload just one contact signed with my multi-grid Station Location and
certificate.
