>From the ARRL site:

Each QSO that you eventually submit must be signed using a digital
certificate (cert) issued by ARRL. Each, single call sign must have a cert.
N6TR and N6TR/7 require different certs. You will create one or more
"station locations" that will be stored on your computer. When you select a
log to be signed (prior to submittal to LoTW) you will assign a station
location to that log. This process will allow, for instance, a log from K1KI
in FN32, and a log from K1KI in FN33 to be recognized as different grids and
attach that geographic information to the QSO. The QSO dates for each
operation are entered into the system during the certificate request. One
catch: If K1KI wants to enter his callsign as K1KI/m or K1KI/r, that will
require a new certificate. The system recognizes exact matches on callsigns
for the certificate process. In other words, K1KI doing a rover operation
can submit logs from various grids under one cert as long as his call stays
the same. It is also easy to create another station location for another
call, but you have to obtain another cert for that call.
