I am using dx keeper for my logging program. Is there a way to inter satellite contacts in it?
Thanks

Nick,
Yes. Just a matter of selecting the right configuration options. It also will handle LoTW and eQSL satellite contacts as well. You can create different configurations for HF, satellite, etc. Probably the most important point is to set the propagation mode to SAT and add in the satellite name and mode on the logging page. Attached to the direct mail will be a picture of my screen with a familiar call, and a copy of my configuration file which goes in the CONFIGURATION directory of the program. This should give you a good start. Satellite logging is documented, but may require some experimenting to get the defaults the way you want them.

Nick,
Yes DXKeeper works well for satellite contacts. That's what I used for my recent KH6 Dxpedition for logging.
Make sure you have checked the Propagation box. This will show additional information including the satellites and the Modes. Check marking the Awards box let's you add the gridsquare.
Hope that helps,
