[Dx4win] Satellite QSO and LoTW - Upload error

[Ernie]

My solution was to give up using DX4WIN for satellites. I have my N3FJP 
AC log program set up for satellites. I reconfigured the main logging 
entry page to include boxes for "GRID", "Satellite Name" and "Prop 
Mode".  Once set up it works very well for quick entry of the satellite 
contacts and it is quick and easy to upload them to LOTW. It worked good 
enough for me to get my credits uploaded and earn satellite VUCC.

I still use DX4WIN for everything else, but with the way the satellite 
names programmed into the main program, we have to wait for updates to 
get the latest satellites listed. By then I've made a hundred contacts 
that would have to be logged "other".
