Yes, but my logging program was not picking up the from grid when it
imported the QSO from the contest logging program. So I would have to
load the rover log in the contest program to figure it out. Once I
figured out how to get the regular logging program to import the from
grid, it was no longer a problem.
It's still difficult to upload to LOTW after a rover operation. Only
way I see is to break my log into multiple files by from grid. Then
upload each one using a different QTH.
At least LOTW is far better than eQSL. Their multiple QTH feature is
almost impossible to use for a rover.
