[Dx4win] LOTW and SAT QSOs

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 10:18:03 -0000

Apparently the LoTW software authors were not real familiar with satellite
operations. On AO-40, as many of you may know, you can QSO with a station
using U/S while you are using L/S. In this case the uplink and downlink
bands will never match...

I am not personally familiar with using X and K bands so I have no pearls to
offer on those bands.

>From the AMSAT site:

Both the uplink and downlink bands of the two QSO records (yours and the
other station's) must match in order for LoTW to connect the two into a
"QSL" record. Also, LoTW infers the satellite mode from the two band
fields, and any future mode-specific awards will take notice of that.
