<H3>Defining, Modifying, or Deleting a Station Location</H3>
<P>
A <i>Station Location</i> specifies an operating location and, optionally, a <A HREF="glossary.htm#callsign_certificate">Callsign Certificate</a>; it contains information you'd typically include on your QSL card.
<p>
If when submitting QSOs to LoTW you select a Station Location that specifies a Callsign Certificate, TQSL will submit your QSOs with that Station Location and Callsign Certificate.
<p>
If when submitting QSOs to LoTW you select a Station Location that doesn't specify a Callsign Certificate (it's <b>Call Sign</b> is set to <CODE>[None]</CODE>),
<table border="0" valign="top">
<col style="width:30px">
<tr><td>- </td><td>if you have exactly one Callsign Certificate whose DXCC entity matches the DXCC entity in the selected Station Location, TQSL will submit your QSOs with that Station Location and Callsign Certificate</td></tr>
<tr><td>- </td><td>if you have more than one Callsign Certificate whose DXCC entity matches the DXCC entity in the selected Station Location, TQSL will prompt you to select the Callsign Certificate with which to submit your QSOs</td></tr>

<H5>Modifying an Existing Station Location</H5>
<p>
TQSL will not permit you to modify a Station Location whose Callsign Certificate has been deleted; more information is available <a href="https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/troubleshooting/#StnLocMod">here</a>.</p>
