[amsat-bb] LoTW still a big failure for checking satellite QSOs

[Paul Stoetzer]

Ed,

LoTW will not confirm a QSO when the propagation mode and satellite
name don't match.

What LoTW actually does when one station specifies it and the other not is to confirm a match QSO but the credit goes to the terrestrial VUCC on VHF, UHF, etc. which, in my opinion, put high risk to terrestrial VUCC credibility through LoTW confirmations.
