I didn't write those AMSAT notes, I just referenced them. They don't refer to any particular logging program. DX4WIN needs some work to truly support Satellite QSOs. It would require a change in the logbook structure. 73 - Jim AD1C --- "Mark Lunday, WD4ELG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Jim.

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Right. Sorry, I was confused. How do I enter into an ADIF file for the proper LoTW setting for a satellite QSO, since DX4WIN cannot do that for me. Mark Lunday WD4ELG [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wd4elg.net
