Some interference form shortwave broadcasts, but nothing that fully prevented a QSO. I enjoy using the J-45 leg key &#8211; it does not seem like it is a key built for speed. That&#8217;s okay for me as I am still somewhere in between 10 and 15 wpm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I get home and upload these contacts on to LOTW, I want to make sure that I have the correct location in TrustedQSL before I sign and upload the logs. I found two websites that helped me figure out the grid location for the park. The first is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qrz.com\/gridmapper\">QRZ&#8217;s Gridmapper<\/a>. The second <a href=\"https:\/\/zone-check.eu\">website<\/a> was a bit more user friendly and also provided the ITU and CQ Zones. After I set up a new station location in TrustedQSL and had transferred the contacts from my pocket notebook to my fldigi logbook, I exported the contacts and then signed and uploaded them via TrustedQSL into LOTW.
