I have had the same thing happen to me on at least two\noccasions. I am 100% confident my upload contained the PROP_MODE and\nSAT_NAME fields. The other station did not upload with those fields. \nThe contact became a QSL record in the LoTW system as a terrestrial QSO. \nFortunately I was able to assist the two stations to correct and re-upload.\nThe QSL's then were corrected to a satellite contact.\n\nI have encountered some other special cases like this from time to time in\nthe LoTW system. It is not perfect but it generally works well and faster\nthan postal card exchanges.\n\n73\nClayton\nW5PFG\n\nOn 2/25/2017 11:50, Eduardo PY2RN wrote:\n> Paul, may be I am the \"lucky\" one, but I have plenty of examples in LoTW\nhere.One of the most interesting is a QSO between PY and CT made via AO-40\nsatellite, where I have set satellite name and propagation mode correctly,\nbut the other station not, LoTW just credited terrestrial qso between PY and\nCT on 1.2GHz.\n>\n> | Call Sign | | PY2RN |\n> | DXCC | | BRAZIL |\n> | CQ Zone | | 11 |\n> | ITU Zone | | 15 |\n> | Grid | | GG66LW |\n> | Worked Station |\n> | Worked | | CT1--- |\n> | DXCC | | PORTUGAL (272) |\n> | CQ Zone | | 14 |\n> | ITU Zone | | 37 |\n> | Grid | | IM67-- |\n> | Date/Time | | 2002-11-08 23:50:00 |\n> | Mode | | SSB (PHONE) |\n> | Band | | 23CM |\n> | QSL | | 2016-10-13 11:33:07 |\n> | |\n> | Record ID 570561985 Received: 2016-10-13 11:33:07\n>\n> |\n>\n>\n> 73 - Ed PY2RN\n>\n> From: Paul Stoetzer <[email protected]>\n> To: Eduardo PY2RN <[email protected]>\n> Cc: \"[email protected]\" <[email protected]>\n> Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2017 2:37 PM\n> Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] LoTW still a big failure for checking \n> satellite QSOs\n>\n> Ed,\n>\n> LoTW will not confirm a QSO when the propagation mode and satellite \n> name don't match.\n>\n> 73,\n>\n> Paul, N8HM\n>\n> On Sat, Feb 25, 2017 at 12:30 PM, Eduardo PY2RN <[email protected]> wrote:\n>> This has been already taken to LoTW admins at ARRL but they insist in\nblaming the \"sat operator\" as she/he registered the QSO with wrong/missing\ninformation, which is true, but the system, LoTW the case, should avoid\nconfirming a match between two stations when one of them does not specify\nPROPAGATION MODE = SAT. What LoTW actually does when one station specifies\nit and the other not is to confirm a match QSO but the credit goes to the\nterrestrial VUCC on VHF, UHF, etc. which, in my opinion, put high risk to\nterrestrial VUCC credibility through LoTW confirmations.\n>>\n>> 73 - Ed PY2RN.\n>> _______________________________________________\n>> Sent via [email protected].
