[FQP]FQP logs and LoTW

[Axel Schernikau, DL6KVA]

Hello Jeff and Ron,

I'd mention such purposes already during beta-testing.
I think so far LOTW isn't really ready for County-Hunters-Activites, 
especially for those of the Mobiles.
So far as You sign e.g. NJ4M/M for all activities You could get one 
certificate and arrange different locations in the TQSL-software for 
every county You activated. Would be interesting how You will without 
big work arrange to sign every QSO properly. If You use different (e.g. 
county-abbreviations) delimiters for Your County You can't be sure that 
the other station of the QSO logged the QSO this way. So in case of Jeff 
probably the QSO-partners logged You as NJ4M/M in main logging program 
just knowing on air that You could work You again in this new county.

A bit difficult. Ofcourse You can get a lot of certificates for every 
county You activate with every possible logged call on the other side 
and than load up every log for a separate county with different 
certificates like NJ4M, NJ4M/M, NJ4M/SAR etc. Don't think any of the 
great Mobile activators will go through this as long as we can get the 
QSOs confirmed using MRCs ....

And ofcourse ... till now ARRL didn't really stoud up to support USA-CA etc.

Just my personel thoughts :-)

73 & gl, cu on the bands in PAQP, ILQP, on CHN-CW etc.

If they had a field in their database for each QSO record named "Notes", Then you could maybe put something like "FQP 2003 SAR" in that field, which would ID it to the person looking at it as a FQP QSO... plus you would only have to register as NJ4M. I haven't heard if their design is locked but maybe it would be a good suggestion to make for the next version of the software ...
