Hi all.
I posted this to the AMSAT FB page before thinking it might have been better to post here. I'll soon be making my first multi grid rove and am looking for insight on how best to set up TQSL. How complex do my rules/qso sets need to be for this? Can I/should I consider using the and/any rule for neighboring grids? Been pondering this for a couple days now and not really making a lot of progress.
Tnx es 73

I think you might be crossing a few thought streams here.
TSQL needs to have a location for every different operating location. You can go as specific as you would like, i.e. 6 digit grid squares, counties, parks, etc... Or stop at 4 digits and the State, this would be faster if you do multiple locations in the same grid+state. For grid lines I only have tried 4 digit grid squares, not sure if it will take longer ones.
As for Rules, that is, as far as I know, setup in thebLoTW award area. I have a few ands & ors in my VUCC award account because I operate portable and might not be in my 6 digit grid square for each QSO.
I hpe this was helpful and on topic for your question. At least this is information that would have saved me some time when I got started.
Feel free to email me off list if you (or anyone else) want.

+1 for what KB2YSI said.
Yes gridlines and grid corners it will take 6 digit grids, an Example from my DM Rove here is the location in TQSL (DM16xa,DM15xx,DM26aa,DM25ax).
As for VUCC/WAS award rules, the biggest thing is figuring out your VUCC/WAS circle and knowing what locations would be in or out of your circle. Keep in mind VUCC circle is bigger then WAS.

The one other note that I will add, is that when logging multiple grids either a line or a corner, the proper syntax to use in TQSL is grid/grid with no spaces. For example DN71/DN72. That will get everyone the proper credit for both/all of the grids that you activated.
Hope to catch you in some NW grids this summer. R.J. WY7AA

RJ, I've used GRID(comma)GRID with good success. Maybe both ways work. 73, Bob K8BL (119 Grids Roved, 3 Countries and counting which pales in comparison to King Gabe!) On Wednesday, April 17, 2019, 2:41:34 PM EDT, Robert Bragg via AMSAT-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org wrote:
