Export Adif with QSOs Sats to LOTW

TI3GB · July 30, 2025, 4:24am

Hola Sebastian, hi everyone,

I hope you’re doing well!

This past weekend, I was roving in the south of Costa Rica and used the app to log several satellite QSOs — it worked fantastically, thank you!

However, I encountered an issue when exporting the contacts to LoTW. The satellite names in the ADIF file don’t appear to match the format expected by LoTW, which caused the upload to fail initially.

Is there any possibility of supporting the LoTW-compliant satellite name format in a future update? I was able to correct the entries manually this time, but I wanted to share the feedback as I believe this improvement could really help fellow satellite operators upload their logs to LoTW more easily and efficiently.

Thanks again for all the great work on the app — it’s a fantastic tool for the satellite community!

Best regards,
73! Pura vida de TI3GB - Greg

Hi Greg,
Perhaps you could explain what the format issue is?
