Hello group I need advice and direction concerning logging programs and LOTW. Using WINLOG32 I uploaded 184 QSO's in to LOTW which resulted in 2 matches. Knowing that some of you have been doing the same and I have had QSO's with you; is the fact that Winlog32 does not provide for a "SAT name" location the reason for so few matches? There does not seem to be a way to add a "SAT name" blank to Winlog32, that I can figure out! Does anyone know a work-around and/or is there a logging program that is easier to use and adapt or is there a program that already has these perameters built in.
Your help will be greatly appreciated,
Marvin K5MLT
There MUST be a Sat Name line in the adif in order for LoTW to match.
The log in HRD will do all that. I'm sure there are other programs also. I do not know about WINLOG

N3fjp's AC log can do it easily as well.

Marvin:
There is a way that you can edit the ADIF QSO record, instructions on how to do this is at the following link: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%2520Instructions/N5JB.pdf
The other way of course is as you asked, another logging program. One I know that recieves high marks is DXLab Suite: http://dxlabsuite.com/
Hope this helps: Bruce KD8DQ
