[NLRS] Help needed -- VHF mobile log for LOTW

[Bill Davis]

   I have a "problem" (That could be resolved with a paper QSL but...):

   PREFACE: After the 2007 CSVHF conference while driving home and operating mobile several of us had 2m Es QSOs into the SE US as well as Cuba. I had eight such QSOs with in TX and OK on the interstate in motion.

   PROBLEM: While in QSO on 15m JT65 using JT65-HF I was in contact with K4ADR. While signing I noted that I had worked him back in 2006 on 6m. We responded .. what about our 2m Es QSO? He found it in his log, but it was not confirmed via LOTW as the 6m QSO was.

   WHY? ... I didn't enter those 8 mobile QSOs in LOTW because my logging program assumes EN37 for all QSOs. Not the 3 grids / 8 subgrids I was mobile in.

   Looking on my LOTW TQSL "enter QSO data" application, no place for grid square for me or my state. Assumes EN37 MN I guess.

   Is there a way to do this "easily"? Otherwise I guess I will just paper QSL. There might be others in the group that I worked that would want a LOTW confirmation as well however.


   Never gave it much thought. I have exchanged one QSL years ago with one of the other guys I worked. Since ADR needed the state (OK) and grid (EM14) it is odd that he didn't just QSL and not depend upon LOTW. Oh well, different strokes.

   Must be a simple VHF Mobile/Rover program out there that would solve this little "problem".
