Hi!
Thanks to those who have responded to my post when I made my first uploads to LOTW. I had asked about what "mode" I should use when uploading AO-16 QSOs, since that is a cross-mode satellite (that's how I worked it - FM up, SSB down). I have heard about what to set the BAND field, and N5JB's document makes it pretty clear that you use the band you transmit on for that field. I am not uploading fields beyond the 7 necessary to make a valid LOTW QSO record, so other fields like FREQ and FREQ_RX don't matter.
My guess is that, if I follow the way the BAND field is handled for satellite QSOs in LOTW, I would use the mode I transmitted with for the MODE field. In the case of AO-16, that would be FM. N5JB's document mentions an additional field BAND_RX that some may use. I have not seen any mention of a "MODE_RX" field, but I will go with "MODE" as the mode from my transmitter unless I get some authoritative information to the contrary.
I will proceed to uploading CJ7EWK QSOs from November 2008, and try to get all of my July 2010 VA7EWK QSOs - including those at the Canada/USA border - done tonight. Then the huge task of the WD9EWK QSOs.
By the way, is SO-67 still a no-go in LOTW?
73!
