[LOGic] Satellite QSO's

[Joe]

For LOTW satellite contacts,  make sure that you have the following
fields--Sat_Mode, Sat_Name, and Prop_Mode-- set up with the proper
validation tables.  Enable them for ADIF format making sure you map to
appropriate ADIF field.  You should be good to go.  

 

One problem is that Logic uses the fields Freq and Freq_TX but ADIF uses
Freq and Freq_RX.  This is not a problem with LOTW because of the way LOTW
matches but is a big problem for EQSL.  I suggest using Freq for transmit
frequency and adding the field Freq_Rx for receive frequencies when running
split  to be consistent with ADIF.   Alternatively you could map Logic's
Freq to Freq_RX for ADIF and Freq_TX to Freq for ADIF.  Update your logging
forms as appropriate.  

 

See http://adif.org/adif224.htm for the ADIF specifications.  

 

In other words, check that you have the needed fields with their appropriate
mapping.  It be good if Logic came with the appropriate fields and mappings
but it is not too hard to set up.
