Hi Mark- For satellite QSOs, you need to enter BOTH xmit and receive bands, since they are different.
From the presentation:
"Logging QSOs made through the Amateur satellites is not much different than logging any other QSO on the air. The standard QSO information - callsign, date, time, band and mode are logged. But to receive proper credit for a satellite QSO, the log entry must also include the receive band, propagation mode ("satellite"), and the satellite name."

| The PowerPoint on LoTW advises logging and uploading the receive (downlink) band. When I did this, I was regularly chastised and told that the correct procedure was to designate the transmit (uplink) band. So which is correct? -- Mark D. Johns, K0MDJ Decorah, Iowa USA EN43
