Satellites Names and eQSL

Alan Floyd
 

I'm uploading satellite contacts to eQSL with the 'Sat Name' field populated. When the eQSL arrives the Sat Name is not there. Can you confirm that the Sat Name is passed in the ADIF file as it appears to do when uploading to Lotw.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your e-mail.  Yes, when uploading by ADIF, the Sat_Name is included (you can open the ADIF file in any text editor to to view the file yourself).  

Sat_Name is not currently included in the eQSL direct upload.  I will include it in the next AC Log revision.  In the mean time, be sure to continue to use the ADIF upload when you are sending Satellite QSOs.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your quick reply Scott. eQSL are getting geared up right now for satellite QSL's, SatName is now live. We even have several eAward for satellite work with more to come.

Hi Scott,

Can you give me an idea of when you will be doing the next revision of your AC Log as the lack of Sat Names is causing issues with eQSL's being rejected. I just need something to tell our members that are effected.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your e-mail.  Sorry, I don't presently have another release in the plans.  You can always have your affected users use the beta version for now:

Thanks for that Scott. We are still missing some information though.

Satellite Modes in the Manual Log Entry dropdown

A = Uplink: 2m Downlink: 10m
AU = Uplink: 10m Downlink: 70cm
B = Uplink: 70cm Downlink: 2m
J = Uplink: 2m Downlink: 70cm
K = Uplink: 15m Downlink: 10m
L = Uplink: 23cm Downlink: 70cm
LU = Uplink: 23cm Downlink: 70cm
SX = Uplink: 13cm Downlink: 3cm
T = Uplink: 15m Downlink: 2m
UV = Uplink: 70cm Downlink: 2m
VU = Uplink: 2m Downlink: 70cm


In order to properly determine the uplink frequency band, the Satellite Mode (ADIF: SAT_MODE) should be provided. For instance, a Mode UV satellite QSO is done by transmitting in the 70cm band and receiving in the 2m band. The BAND information in your log (and in the uploaded ADIF record) should say "70cm". (Remember in ADIF crossband operation, the BAND is the transmission band, not the received band!) Don't confuse this with the communication MODE, which might be SSB or CW or FM, etc.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your follow up.  Sorry, while I do include Prop Mode, I don't also have a dedicated Sat Mode field in AC Log, so that isn't something I can add directly.  Folks that have customized an Other field with the Sat Mode ADIF tag can just export in ADIF and upload to eQSL the regular way.

Enjoy!
