[amsat-bb] Logging satellites to LOTW

[Rolf Krogstad]

The ADIF file must contain the PROP_MODE set to "SAT".  If it isn't there
it won't count as a satellite QSO and you will get no confirmations.
Also, SAT_NAME must be as TQSL has defined the satellite name or else it
won't upload.

Here is what our QSO looks like as I uploaded it to LOTW:

<Call:5>K4MIA
<QSO_Date:8>20180430
<Time_On:6>030900
<Band:4>70CM
<Mode:2>FM
<OPERATOR:4>NR0T
<Prop_Mode:3>SAT
<RST_Sent:2>59
<RST_Rcvd:2>59
<SAT_NAME:5>AO-92
<eor>

You may have more than that, depending on the software you use.
Send me what you have for a QSO and I will take a look at it.
Note that the number after the field name indicates how many characters are
in the data field.

So <Time_On:6>  means that you are sending six characters for time:  030900
If you had <Time_On:4> , then the time would be passed as 0309
Note that your callsign and location info are defined in TQSL and not in
the ADIF file.  I believe that <OPERATOR:4>NR0T is optional.
