My experience with LOTW and SAT QSO's is the frequency does matter. I have had to fool my logging program to upload the uplink frequency to get a match on a rare occasion. N5JB's guide to LOTW and satellite QSO's says 7 items must match to get a satellite verification in LOTW. Only 5 items need to match for a non-satellite QSO.

The convention in logging split band or mode QSOs is to use what band or mode you're transmitting on.
That said, LoTW doesn't care about the frequencies if the propagation mode is set to 'SAT'

I use LOGIC 9 and it uploads the downlink frequency. I enter both uplink and downlink frequencies into the logging program LOCIC 9. I receive lots of matches and that seems to be the accepted convention. I know ARRL suggests uploading the uplink frequency in their documentation. LOGIC 9 does not follow that recommendation and from my experience most other sat operators are not either.

Just ignoring them, because i cannot understand them on my TS-790/FT-847.No narrow FM and no PL tone. Never got a problem. And please...why do some stations upload logs with DWNlink freq on sat qso's instead of the UPlink freq? Always having some rejected qsl's because qso's don't match due to wrong band. I log with VQlog, uplink and dwnlink freq etc, so i think the TX-freq is most important for logging sat'qso's and not the RX-freq? 73's Jerry,ON4CJQ ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: "R.T.Liddy" <k8bl@ameritech.net <mailto:k8bl@ameritech.net>> Aan: "Matthew Stevens" <matthew@mrstevens.net <mailto:matthew@mrstevens.net>>, "Joe" <nss@mwt.net <mailto:nss@mwt.net>> Cc: "amsat-bb" <amsat-bb@amsat.org <mailto:amsat-bb@amsat.org>> Verzonden: Maandag 14 augustus 2017 02:33:37 Onderwerp: Re: [amsat-bb] Modulation levels on AO-85 "...food in the mic hole, etc."!!!

So a rig set to 5 kHz is what we all usually expect. 5 kHz deviation with 3 kHz audio (the usual top for most voice) would be about 16 kHz bandwidth. The deviation number alone is not equal to bandwidth. ("Carson's Rule") Low audio is usually just that, not talking loud enough, not talking into the mic properly, mic gain setting too low, food in the mic hole, etc. Jerry Buxton, NØJY On 8/13/2017 17:55, Ronald G. Parsons wrote: I’ve noticed lately that many stations on AO-85 have barely audible modulation. Yet other stations have clear audio with good quieting. I have heard the some manufacturers of hand-held and mobile rigs are setting their maximum deviation to 5 kHz or even less. I have noticed the same effect on local repeaters. Has anyone done any tests of the deviation required for reasonable quieting on AO-85? Or are more stations using lower power than in the past?
