No. The ARRL LoTW configuration file must include the name of the satellite for LoTW to accept the QSO.
AMSAT has requested that BY70-1 be added as "BY70-1" in the next configuration file. AMSAT has also requested that this update be made no later than January 31st due to NPOTA QSOs that were made via the satellite.
AMSAT has also requested the addition of IO-86 as well as SAREX and MIREX for QSOs that occurred via the digipeater carried on various Space Shuttle missions and the Mir space station. If anyone notices a satellite that was available for amateur operation that is not included in the LoTW configuration file, please let me know.
Please also keep in mind that there may be a delay in requests being made for the addition of satellites to the LoTW configuration file while AMSAT awaits word of any potential OSCAR number request.

Greetings, I know there was a request to add BY-701, but is it possible to log the contacts now by manually editing the ADIF file to include
Satellite Name: <SAT_NAME:4>BY-701
Thanks to everyone on SO-50 for their patience with my deaf QRM and mangled call sign read-backs. Satellites are probably a poor first introduction to amateur radio, too much time pressure and juggling to work out the basics.
