Not really sure what > the "station location" is used for, if anything, in LOTW A "Station Location" defines a QTH and, usually, an associated callsign. Think of it like a QSL card, as it has all of the details of your station - callsign, state, county, gridsquare, etc. Just like what gets printed on your QSLs.

You are erasing the callsign on your "Ohio" QSL card (Station Location) and adding a different one. When you go to use that Station Location again, the new callsign is now attached. > Finally set the old calls to Ohio and Ohio_1 and made my current call > simply Home and all 3 calls now show up and can be selected at the time of > the log submission.

"Ohio - W8DN" and so forth. Perhaps we should consider changing the name of a "Station Location" to "QSL Card". That could eliminate the jargon and make it easier to use. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
