[CQ-Contest] LoTW and portable operations

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.
