If when submitting QSOs to LoTW you select a Station Location that specifies a Callsign Certificate, TQSL will submit your QSOs with that Station Location and Callsign Certificate.
If when submitting QSOs to LoTW you select a Station Location that doesn't specify a Callsign Certificate (it's Call Sign is set to [None]
),
| 2.a | either set the Call Sign box to the callsign to be associated with this Station Location, or leave the Call Sign box set to [None] box |
| 2.b | specify the Grid Square in which your station is located (this is particularly important if you operate on VHF or UHF frequencies or via Satellites, as it provides Grid Square credit to your QSO partners pursuing VUCC awards) |
| 2.c | specify the ITU Zone in which your station is located |
| 2.d | specify the CQ Zone in which your station is located |
| 2.e | if your station is located on an island, specify its IOTA Reference Number; use a two-character continent abbreviation followed by a dash and a 3 digit number, e.g. OC-005 . If you do not know your IOTA designation, you can find this information at http://www.iota-world.org |
| 2.f | If appropriate for your DXCC entity, additional fields will appear on the Station Location page, such as US State, County, Province, or Oblast. Filling these fields will cause the ITU Zone and CQ Zone to change to allow only appropriate zone values for that subdivision. |
| The example above shows this for a station in the United States:
| 3.a | in the Add Station Location dialog, select your US State (this is particularly important as it provides US State credit to your QSO partners pursuing WAS awards) |
| 3.b | select your US County |
| 3.c | if you are participating as an activator in the ARRL's National Parks On The Air (NPOTA) event, select the Park in which you're operating so your QSO partners will receive NPOTA credit; if you are operating from a location within several Parks, choose the Park selector entry that specifies those Parks joined by + characters, e.g. Appalachian Trail + Shenandoah |
| 3.d | click the Next button |
| | Note: If you specify a Grid Square that is inconsistent with your location, the Grid is not correct for your QTH message will appear; if you are certain that the specified Grid Square is correct, click the Next button. |
