LOTW

If you used a special prefix for the CQ WW or worked at a guest op, don't forget to get a LOTW certificate for that prefix and upload your logs to LOTW.

73, K4SAC



Oct 7, 2007: Use a special prefix? You must have a certificate for that prefix -- Some users have noted that some stations are making QSOs with a special prefix, but not obtaining an additional certificate to cover that callsign. If XE0XXX signs 6H0XXX he needs to obtain a certificate for 6H0XXX and use that certificate to sign the 6H0XXX log.

Additional certificates are easily obtained. When making the new certifcate request, answer Yes when TQSLCert asks you if you want to sign the request. Then, choose the primary call (highlight that call with your mouse) from the certificate list, and finish up. LoTW will recognize the user and issue an additional certificate automatically.
