Finally, I finished setting up my Leo-Pack and antenna is on top of F12 at roof top. I learned a few tricks when setting up the antenna. The rotor G-5500 is all working as expected.
Yesterday, I tried my first wack at satellites....I tried the XW## and worked two stations. I am using tqsl to login the Qs....I entered pertinent information about the qso but when I select Propagation Mode = Satellite and then want select the Satellite name, I cannot see any of the XW sats and who knows how many more.
I can see the list when I log on to the lotw service portal. The issue is at the software tqsl.. There must be a way to modify that list, I think.
Any assistance is appreciated es hope to work you at some point from FM18LW (DC)

Rafael,
Good job with the QSOs! Hope to catch you soon so I can finally say I've worked DC on satellite!
In tQSL, the XW-2 satellites are listed as "Hope 2A," "Hope 2C," etc. "Hope" is the English translation of the Chinese designation for amateur satellites "Xiwang," which is where the XW abbreviation comes from.
