[RTTY] missing info in LoTW uploads

[FireBrick]

For those of us trying for worked all counties/rtty it helps if you include the extra info 
about your station during the signing of qsos you submit to LoTW.

When you sign a group of qsos there is a section of the signing process that allows you to 
put in the state, county, grid, itu/cq zones, iota, etc.

In the TQSL module (that's the module you use to sign qsos prior to uploading)
Click on the Station>Edit locations, select the callsign your submitting qsos for, click 
on the 'Edit' button
note: ITU Zone is first, then CQ Zone
click on Next and it will change to the State and County page.

That will automagically add that info to the qso's you upload and LoTW qsls that are 
matched.

Especially helpful to the people going after rtty WAS.

And one other tip.....if you hadn't added that info in previously submitted qsos, you can 
resubmit them again and the new info will be added.
While submitting previously submitted qsos to LoTW does increase processing time, (as per 
their info on the LoTW Home page), no harm is done to previous qsl matches.
So if your going to resubmit your qsos with this new info, maybe a low use time frame may 
be preferable.
I find that LoTW is slow on Sunday mornings, I suspect that some sort of processing or 
backup operation is in effect.
I find that Monday's, mid-morning, is especially fast in accepting uploads.

Happy Holiday (see, even a grump like me can be PC)
