AFAIK, tQSL program itself doesn't contain this. All necessary certificates (root, ca) and keys are imported from <call-sign>.tq6 file sent to the callsign owner.
That's correct. I don't know if the ARRL root certs are officially published anywhere, where you could download them all easily.
One way to get them is to set up LotW, get a certificate for yourself from ARRL (they have that part documented well), and when you import your own personal certificate to the tQSL program, you get the root certs too as a side effect. They can then be found somewhere in the app's data directory (or within the .tq6 file, just open it up with a text editor and they're pretty obvious).
