[VHFcontesting] Rover Logs for LoTW

I don't think the "location" requirement is a punishment for /P, /R folks.  If you want to use /P or /R LOTW confirmations for VUCC you need the location data.  It's a bit tedious to set up but not much effort after that.

Yes, you do. It's the only way to get a /R (or / anything) signature on your logs, and therefore the only way you and your contacts will get matched if they logged you with /R.
The good news is that you can use your existing certificate to request the additional one; you don't have to start from the beginning like with the mailed code. Look for help on the lotw.arrl.org website for additional (not replacement) certificates, and follow the directions carefully.
Bad news is, continuing LotW's relentless hostility to us mobile/rover/portable operators, each "location" in TQSL applies to only one callsign certificate.

I am trying to work out how to best upload contest QSOs made as a rover (signing VE3SMA/R) to LoTW.  Does anyone know if I still need to get a new callsign certificate for VE3SMA/R?
