If it works like it has for other recently-launched satellites, nothing will happen in LOTW until the satellite is open for use. Then someone, or a bunch of us, will need to ask the ARRL to add whatever the designator is to LOTW. It does not have to be a 5-character designator, as this list shows: https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/faq#sats Some are 4-character designators, and one has a 6-character designator. It could end up something like you proposed. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
