One of my winter projects is to get all of my OSCAR contacts back to 1989 in LOTW. Unfortunately, my older logs are not available.
What are folks doing about contacts made on RS-10/11? My log book says RS-10/11 and LOTW wants either RS-10 or RS-11 and I really don't have a way to tell which? The same conundrum applies to RS-12/13, but it appears I logged most of them as RS-13 for some reason.
Thanks and 73,

Hi Joe,
Beginning from OSCAR-6 up to AO40 I have all my QSO recorded on a professional tape recorder REVOX A77 using 1/4" tape winded in many and many big coils each 10.63 " in diameter and so I can enjoy to hear time to time the voice of my old satellite friends and as well the CW ROBOT of the RS satellites.Before to start any QSO I mention on tape the name of the satellite the orbit numbar and the date, just for record along with the log on paper.
