Hi all,

The qso's with K1LT/8 were all good (at least I think they were).  I logged 
the callsign just as he sent it and submitted my log accordingly.  I'm just 
trying to determine if the robot will be happy or angry!

I worked K1LT several times during the qso party. He was signing his call 
as K1LT/8 and that?s the way I logged him.  I read somewhere that the robot 
didn?t like a /M as an extension to a callsign and it would reject the 
contact.  I left all /M?s off my log.  My questions:  Since I logged the 
contacts with K1LT/8 this way, will the robot reject those three qso?s, or 
is my log OK the way it is?  Should I resubmit my log without the /8?

My rule of thumb is: K8XX/FRAN, K8XX/QRP, K8XX/AE, K8XX/M, etc. are logged 
as K8XX.  K8XX/4 is logged with the suffix even if I know that he lives in 
Tennessee.

This doesn't always work.  I worked a 7-call who was in a QSO party in one 
of the 0-land states who was signing with a /0 and I logged him that way. 
Later on, I removed the /0 and reloaded the logs into LoTW and got a 
confirmation.  But by then it was too late to change my contest log so I 
don't know what happened there.

There actually was an 8-call running in the TNQP who was signing with a 
slash and his county abbreviation. That makes things a lot less confusing to 
me.

In the general spirit of things, I'm not sure of the ethics of changing a 
log based on the way this discussion might go.
