[amsat-bb] Re: LOTW - improperly coded satellite contacts?

[Marvin Tamez]

Bill, all of my matches, besides the 3 blanks, are coming back VUCC SAT.  Maybe 
someone else can answer the why yours are coming back VUCC144 or 432?? Not sure 
where the imput error is, if there is one! Maybe the Propagation is being 
recorded as 144 or 432 enstead of "SAT" Sorry can't be of more help...

Marvin

M,

Are all of your matches coming back as VUCC Satellite?  Or are some coming back 
incorrectly as VUCC 144 mhz?
