[Dx4win] What is the proper LoTW setting for a satellite QSO?

OK, I think I got it figured out.

LoTW will match the QSO (what we really care about) IF the following two
entries are in the QSO record (which require a manual entry in the ADIF file
AFTER it has been exported from DX4WIN):

<SAT_NAME:5>XX-XX<PROP_MODE:3>SAT

EXAMPLE: 

<SAT_NAME:5>AO-51<PROP_MODE:3>SAT



LoTW does not care about the mode or band, EXCEPT if you select SAT in
DX4WIN for band.  That causes a hiccup in the ADIF conversion.  So just pick
the receive band for the QSO.


I am waiting for the LoTW server to confirm my upload.  If it does not go
through, I will advise.  Thanks for the guidance to those websites, Jim!
