Thanks to George, W1ZT, for the information he provided. I was able to edit my ADIF file to add the following to each Satellite entry:
<PROP_MODE:3>SAT According to the ARRL LoTW site, this tells LoTW of the "propagation mode". I couldn't find a list of "propagation" modes on the site, but it could be there and I just didn't find it. I inserted <PROP_MODE:3>SAT just before <SAT_NAME:5>RS-12 for each RS-12 QSO in the file. I did it using search and replace in Notepad. I replaced <SAT_NAME:5>RS-12 with <PROP_MODE:3>SAT <SAT_NAME:5>RS-12. I don't know if it's important where this propagation mode is entered, but it seemed to work. I was able to certify 63,099 QSO's with no errors. I will be uploading this file to LoTW in a few minutes and we'll see what happens. 73, Don AA5AU -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 12:21 PM To: Don Hill AA5AU; [email protected]; George Johnson Subject: Re: [DXBase] LoTW Satellite QSO Question George, you are probably right. That would have to be manually added but it can be done pretty easy with search/replace. BTW, does anyone know why this entry is required? Is this a mistake in LoTW to be requiring this entry?
