Is there a logging standard that will make sure that LOTW finds the "match"?
I know the time does not have to be dead-on, but what other fields are a must? Does anyone know, or is there a document that tells the satellite community what needs to be in the log? If I work AO-51 for example, what are
the minimum number of fields that must be in the ADI (upload) file? thanks 73 Bill K3SV

Jeff, 9 out of 189 here....I'm sure our numbers will go up as people upload their logs properly

Hi Ted and all,
I got the LoTW VUCC set up without a problem. I had already uploaded 545 satellite QSOs over the past couple of years so they were waiting to be used. Well, after getting everything in order I have a grand total of.....21 matches, or 3.85% of my satellite log. With LoTW VUCC now active it will hopefully get those with electronic logging to upload their satellite QSO's, even better, to get those with paper logs to convert to electronic logging, go back and enter QSO's from the previous couple years, to take advantage of this service. After seeing this disappointing results,
I know we, in the Amateur Satellite community, can do better.
73,
