[amsat-bb] Re: Revisiting LOTW satellite requirements

[KM9U]

I just read the LOTW FAQ and it stated that the satellite name HO-68 is 
supported by LOTW.
I have never been able to upload any logs containing HO-68 as the sat name.
TQSL 1.13 does not have HO-68 in the satellite drop-down menu box.

Is there something I'm missing?

Chuck, KM9U
