[amsat-bb] CY9C satellite update August 26

[Jeff]

I saw that update Paul. It's great for someone who logs after the fact. I 
log each contact in realtime to get the time right then edit the log 
afterwards, to correct the U/L, D/L, SATname and MODE. So I don't think the 
update to DXKeeper will help much in my situation.
If I work SO-50 or AO-85 I pre select the correct sat defaults beforehand. 
On the SSB birds there aren't enough contacts per pass to bother with the 
preselects, editing each contact is easier...

They are in Club Log as K1N/SAT.

But, yes, there aren't any expedition logging packages that I'm aware
of that are satellite friendly.

By the way, a recent DXKeeper upgrade cemented it's status as the best
logging software for satellite QSOs. Nothing comes close for entering
QSOs or tracking satellite award progress,
