[RTTY] xx9xx is not the same as xx9xx/8

[FireBrick]

I couldn't figure out why many qso's with rtty contesters were not showing 
up as LoTW qsls.

I spotted something.
People are not uploading their logs....with the callsign they used in the 
rtty contest.

If you are working a contest, and by rule must use a /callzone such as 
xx9xx/6, then that's the way I log it.
And that's the way I must upload my log to LoTW.
But if you upload the log using your xx9xx certificate, never the twain 
shall meet.

If your contest log showed the station with a /#
You can obtain a certificate for that log, using your present certificate as 
the base.
When you download the new-additional certificate with the call plus /#, that 
is the certificate you use for those log files.

I knew something was funny when some well known, very active contesters were 
not showing up in my LoTW QSLs. I knew I had 80 meter rtty WAS but was 
missing some states from known LoTW users.

And remember guys....you can still upload those logs when you get your new 
certificate for the callsign plus /#
No problem to reupload...you may make some guy who has been waiting for that 
WAS state qsl very happy.
