[amsat-bb] Re: Timing on VUCC Upgrade Processing

[Paul Stoetzer]

Jim,

LoTW works fine as long as the ADIF fields for propagation mode and 
satellite are properly filled with "SAT" and the satellite abbreviation, 
respectively. Satellite QSOs show up properly for WAS Satellite, VUCC 
Satellite, and DXCC Satellite.

73,

Paul, N8HM
