Hello everyone!
I have been looking for a decent general purpose logging software that can handle satellite contacts AND can handle LOTW uploads.
The software that I am testing out ( trial basis ) is great except for this one area.
Any one out there have any input as to what is good for sat contacts that is LOTW friendly?
It also must support AIDF imports from my current log as I want all my sat qso's on LOTW as well.
Thanks!

Steven,
Take a look at DXKeeper, and associated programs. www.dxlabsuite.com It handles satellite QSOs well, supports LoTW, eQSL, imports and exports of AIDF files, contests, etc, etc. Very powerful, but the learning curve is surprisingly gentle. You can use as little or as much as you wish. The author, Dave, AA6YQ also has a great support forum for questions and suggested features. And the price is definitely right.

Steven, I'm using ACLog written by N3FJP (www.n3fjp.com). It works really well for terrestrial contacts and I'm trying to work with the author on making it more satellite friendly particularly when it comes to uploading those contacts to LoTW.
I read Alan's message and think I'll give the DXLab software a go to see how well it works. Being that ACLog is still clunky for doing satellite contacts it will be a pain when the HEO flies and the contact count goes up where it will no longer be easy to manually feed the information into LoTW.
If you find something that works well please post it to the BB so everyone can see.

I have been using PDA's Logic since 1993 and it works just fine for this. You can test it out yourself at hosenose.com
