Hi Tom and All,

From the LOTW frequently asked questions:

***
I used the same call from several different locations in the same DXCC
entity -- I didn't sign portable. Do I need a separate certificate for each
location?
No. In TQSL you can create as many different station locations (the QTH from
where you operated) as you need. You will need to consolidate those QSOs
from each different location, however. Once you have parsed your log
correctly, you then sign those log extracts with your primary certificate,
but make sure you select the correct station location for that particular
log extract. Be sure to give each station location a different name.
If you signed with a portable, such as NT1N/6, or NT1N/R, you should obtain
a separate certificate for those calls. Remember, those stations who worked
you as
NT1N/6 will
not get a match to their data if you sign your NT1N/6 log with your NT1N
certificate
-- each QSO you submit will be tagged with NT1N instead of the correct
NT1N/6.

KM:
In AC Log, you can select a batch of records for upload from a particular
location.  If you add a portable suffix to your callsign you need a new
certificate.
