<p>LOTW accepts any suffix or prefix. If a fellow is signing /4 or
/M I generally log him both with and without the portable
signature, because I never know if the other op will sign as
portable or not in the log he submits to the LOTW.<br>
<br>
As for portable (/) in contest logs, I ALWAYS delete the /whatever
for US calls. If it's a dx and he signs F/W1NN or JA/W1NN I'd
leave the legally required prefix on in the log.<br>
</p>
<p>I've never been dunned for doing it this way in any contest.<br>

<div style="direction: inherit;">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.</div>

<div style="direction: inherit;">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.</div>

<div style="direction: inherit;">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.</div>

<div style="direction: inherit;">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.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">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?</p>
