Jay is right, the current DX4WIN data file doesn't contain enough information to do this. One could do it by adding the SAT_MODE field to every QSO in the ADIF file using a text editor, but it's awkward.

There are two "meaningful" references to LoTW and Satellite QSOs on the web: https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/faq#sats http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/news/viewBrowse.php?nID=2086&y=2003&v=292 The amsat.org link seems to be the most useful. LoTW requires that each ADIF record include these two fields: PROP_MODE (should be SAT) SAT_NAME (see the arrl.org link) DX4WIN does have a "Sat Band" field but it's not exported to ADIF. DX4WIN does not track the Satellite name which which LoTW requires. Even SAT_NAME by itself isn't really sufficient because a single satellite may operate in multiple modes. The SAT_MODE field is defined in the ADIF specification (http://www.adif.org/adif218.htm) but there is no enumeration for it. I don't see how this can be done without Paul changing the underlying logbook format. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 19 10:59:41 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (W9RPM) Date: Mon Nov 19 11:09:08 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] Finding QSO's Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just uploaded QSO's from LOTW to DX4WIN. It said that 3 QSO's where not found in my log. Is there someway, I can see what they are? Thanks- John W9RPM EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WEBPAGE: http://www.w9rpm.com/ AOL IM: W9RPM YAHOO: W9RPM
