[Logic] LOTW

[Mel Martin]

use /P for portable... I believe this would be accepted... try uploading one
QSO to verify it works...

I've never heard of anyone using /nothing... I'm not surprised it was
rejected ;-)

Hi Chris,

Yes, but I didn't have anything listed after the /.

I use the / to indicate a portable operation, unless the operation is taking
place in another call district and then I use /8. For example: W4AT/8. I
think that these went through ok, only the W4AT/, etc., were rejected. Any
ideas?

I wish that I could get the 'our of range' list of calls back so that I
could have a closer look, but I don't know where to look.
