Logging satellites to LOTW
Hello, I started making satellite contacts about a month ago. I need to down load to LOTW (I know I should have done it a lot sooner). I use HRD to do my logging. If I have FM in mode and the correct up and down link frequencies is that all I need for downloading to LOTW or other requirements?Tnx 73 Mike K4MIA

Hi Mike, there is also a 'propagation' tab in the logbook, when you are entering an contact.. It has a drop down for 'satellite'
And the sat name needs to be entered as AO-92, for example, not ao92
And, you are UPLOADING to LoTW...you can use the tab at the top of the log screen to upload right after you work someone and make the entry
You can always go to your HRD logbook, click on an entry and fix any issues
GL, Ted K7TRK

The ADIF file must contain the PROP_MODE set to "SAT". If it isn't there it won't count as a satellite QSO and you will get no confirmations. Also, SAT_NAME must be as TQSL has defined the satellite name or else it won't upload.
Here is what our QSO looks like as I uploaded it to LOTW:
Call:5K4MIA <QSO_Date:8>20180430 <Time_On:6>030900 Band:470CM Mode:2FM OPERATOR:4NR0T <Prop_Mode:3>SAT <RST_Sent:2>59 <RST_Rcvd:2>59 <SAT_NAME:5>AO-92 <eor>
You may have more than that, depending on the software you use. Send me what you have for a QSO and I will take a look at it. Note that the number after the field name indicates how many characters are in the data field.
So <Time_On:6> means that you are sending six characters for time: 030900 If you had <Time_On:4> , then the time would be passed as 0309 Note that your callsign and location info are defined in TQSL and not in the ADIF file. I believe that OPERATOR:4NR0T is optional.
