DXKeeper automatically invokes TQSL when uploading your QSOs to LotW. To digitally sign a set of QSOs to be uploaded, TQSL requires a Callsign Certificate issued to you by the ARRL, and requires you to specify the location from which you operated when making every QSO being uploaded. To make this easy, TQSL lets you define and name a Station Location that specifies a Callsign Certificate and operating location; you can configure DXKeeper to use a particular Station Location when it invokes TQSL to upload your QSOs. TQSL also provides the ability to map modes not defined by the ADIF standard to modes that it can recognize.
