I'm looking for a logging app to create a file for LOTW upload. The  
app needs
to support satellite contacts. I'm using a G5/PPC/10.4.
Here is an excerpt from http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW% 
2520Instructions/N5JB.pdf
"Your "boiled down" satellite QSO records will need to include the  
two additional data lines in order to successfully build a satellite  
QSO record in LoTW:
<CALL:6>WA6DIR
<QSO_DATE:8>20080710
<TIME_ON:6>151200
<BAND:4>70CM
<MODE:3>SSB
<PROP_MODE:3>SAT
<SAT_NAME:4>AO-7
<EOR>
Notice the difference between a DX record and a satellite record. You  
can see that the satellite record includes two additional lines of  
data :
Propagation Mode: <PROP_MODE:3>SAT Satellite Name: <SAT_NAME:4>AO-7"

Aether has a nice interface but doesn't have PROP_MODE, SAT_NAME, or  
70 cm as a band choice.

Thank you,

Bill N5AB
