I worked K8YSE on FO-29 last night (Thanks John) Posted the contacts to LoTW
only to have one of them rejected as a dup. How do others work around this ?
usually I only need one of the grids but in this case need both. they would
be # 206 and 207. I would ask the LoTW staff but the E-mail site for
ARRL.org is still down.

I usually just do two entries 1 minute apart with the different grid
squares.

Brock,
John isn't doing LoTW for this trip.
However, LoTW does support up to four grids per QSO, so you would
ordinarily just enter both grids into your logging software for the QSO.
Also, there is no need for you to enter the other station's grids to upload
to LoTW. Grids come solely from the station location set when uploading the
QSOs and aren't part of the matching logic.

There is no need to do this for grid boundaries.
The only reason you would enter separate QSOs for a single QSO is if
the station was on county, state, or national boundaries as LoTW
doesn't support multiple counties, states, or DXCCs in one QSO. Grid
lines and corners are supported.
For example, this is my confirmation from CO6CBF for a QSO from the
FL00/FL10 line.
Worked CO6CBF
DXCC CUBA (70)
CQ Zone 8
ITU Zone 11
Grid FL00,FL10

There is a limitation of some logging programs that will not track or
properly display your contact with a rover on a grid line. You may
need to enter multiple log entries if you want the program to track
your grids to see what is confirmed and what is not. Again, this is
not a function of LoTW.
As someone who does lots of rover and grid line operations, I create a
new TQSL Station Location for each operating position. I enter the
proper state and the grids separated by a a comma and space. I don't
upload multiple log entries for the contacts I make while rover. I
upload just one contact signed with my multi-grid Station Location and
certificate.

Many people use a program such as DXKeeper, HRD Logbook, Log4OM, etc as a
front end for LoTW. I don't
know the answer, but I wonder if there might be some subtle incompatibility
with the way they pass
information?

I use PDA's Logic for my logging. When I did a bunch of grid boundary
dxpeditions way back and finally uploaded them to lotw I had to create a
location for grid group (el29, el19) and it handled it just fine with lotw.
in the list of where I operated from I would label it xxx county el29/el19
so that if I ever operate from there again, it is already built and ready to
go. if I am the receiving station, I think I have to go into the adif file
before transmission and change the grid to el29,el19 and lotw handles the
rest. since you are only going to work someone once on a boundary, it is not
a problem to change it in the adif file. if you were working hundreds of
people, that would be a pain.

The new Wouxun KG-UV8D is being advertised as full-duplex. Don't know
whether it suffers desense or not. I used to have a Yaesu FT-470 that
worked quite nicely, and currently have an Alinco DJ-G5 that seems to get
