Has anyone worked with downloading their confirmed satellite QSOs from LOTW?
After importing my confirmations, all my satellite QSOs show up in the resulting 'not found' file and don't confirm the QSO in DX4Win. It appears to me that this is because in DX4Win my satellite QSOs band is set to SAT. But the QSO info from LOTW comes back with a band listed as either 2m or 70cm, depending upon the satellite used. For example I had a QSO on SO-50, 2m TX up and 70cm RX down. When DX4Win dumps the ADIF file to send in to LOTW, it lists this QSO as "<MODE:2>FM <SAT_NAME:5>SO-50 <PROP_MODE:3>SAT <BAND:2>2m <BAND_RX:4>70cm", etc. But when importing the report back from LOTW, DX4Win sees a miss match between <BAND:2>2m in the confirmed QSO report and the BAND set as SAT in my QSO record in DX4Win. When viewing the satellite QSO in the not found file via the drop down menu, it highlights the band error in RED. While DX4Win does send it, LOTW does not send back the <PROP_MODE:3>SAT tag in the ADIF download file, so working with that isn't an option. So far the only way that I have figured out how to confirm these satellite QSOs in DX4WIN, is manually. Luckily, I had only a hand full to confirm this time.
