Any tips on how to make ARRL's LOTW accept satellite QSOs?  No luck so 
far...........the "Band" setting reflects SAT from DX4WIN.....how do you 
submit 2400 down, 70 cm up?  And, do they require (somewhere) a satellite 
NAME??  Mom never said it would be easy.......  ;-)
Joe,

I just asked this on the DX reflector (not specifically related to DX4Win).  
To find the format that LoTW is looking for, go into TQSL --> File --> Create 
ADIF.  That will show you the fields and acceptable options.  How to get from 
DX4Win output to this input seems to be a user's problem, at this point - i.e. 
I'm not aware of anything available to do it automatically.  The other 
question I don't know the answer to is which fields are required by LoTW.  I do know 
that the "Prop mode" must be satellite in both logs.  I do not know if bands 
must match, and/or if the satellite name is required.  (The LoTW FAQs do 
explain that the satellite name must match for a Q to count.)

Any enlightenment would be appreciated!

GL,
Steve
