Howdy,
I getting the satellite station (AO-40 class) back in shape after being off for quite a while. Made a dozen contacts today on 4 different birds while testing.
What logging program are folks using now for satellite that supports LoTW?
Mike
Mike,
Thanks for the two QSOs today. Great to hear you!
I use DXKeeper myself. It's free, very well supported by it's author, and with the propagation panel displayed, it's easy to select the proper propagation mode and satellite name. It also does a great job showing award progress for VUCC and can be configured to generate custom reports (such as showing progress towards working all 488 continental US grids) through SQL queries.

Hi Mike, Good luck on getting you old sat contacts ready for LoTW. I have over 18k of sat contacts that would be nice to upload to LoTW but don't have the time to go through them by hand. Maybe someone with some time on their hands can write a conversion routine I can use :-)

Mike,
I use ACLog from N3FJP. It is very easy to use and has excellent support from the author.

I use Ham Radio Deluxe. It is far from perfect. But it does maintain separate logging files for locations, which works for me.
Biggest minus -- I have to manually update the receiving frequency and band for QSOs after they are entered. I have grown tired of alerting the manufacturer to this issue with no satisfaction or audience. Even so, I continue with the product as it "sucks the least".
It integrates very well with LotW. One button click.

I didn't add that it is a lovely program in so many areas. That's why I use it. I get a little passionate about its warts. ;)

I've been using ACLog. It is easy to customize the user interface for satellite work.
I have custom fields setup for my portable/rover operating so that the contacts get logged with the correct Station Location in TQSL.
It's modestly priced and has excellent support from the author and user community.

Tnx to all that responded! Looks like AC Log is the front runner.

Ditto that. ACLog from N3FJP is very flexible and does everything right once you get it set up.
