I set up certificates for each county I mobile from in MIQP and WIQP, so my
call appears as K8IR/CTY in LOTW, along with the location information as Don
describes. Since I get QSL's doing it this way, I know at least some people
are logging my callsign that way. But is there a standard on how the mobile
call should be entered? You don't get a match unless the mobile callsign in
your log is exactly the same as the callsign entered by the mobile.
This method does require a little work at certificate renewal time. I think
I have about certificates for 30 counties from which I mobile.
