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".

Hi all,
I’m running into problems with upload of satellite QSO’s to LoTW. For a
satellite QSO to be accepted by LOTW using TQSL, it has to have PROP_MODE
set to SAT and an accepted satellite name in SAT_NAME.
See: https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/satellite-qsos/?lang=en <
https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/satellite-qsos/?lang=en>
The ARRL maintains a list of accepted satellites. Unfortunately, the list
in dx4win is not up to date with the ARRL list. So for example I enter
RS-44 QSO’s (a very popular and active satellite) in dx4win as “Other”
(with RS-44 in the notes field) which is then rejected by TQSL.
Of course, this can be fixed manually with TQSL or any ADIF editor after
export and before upload to LoTW, but IMHO this defeats the propose of such
an intelligent log program as dx4win. Apart from this, RS-44 QSO’s still
remain sort of invisible with search etc.
So can someone please update the list of satellites in dx4win to comply
with ARRL LoTW requirements?
Thanks and best 73
