I'm using AALog2, but I think this would apply to any logging program.
How are you supposed to log split band satellite contacts? I did it
by using 144/29 or 432/144 in the band, but they don't validate when
exported as ADIF for sending to LOTW.

Satellite and other repeater qso's are invalid for any
award purposes and the cards are therefore pretty
useless. You have not been in direct RF contact
with the station in question, so there is in fact no
qso to confirm.

Waste of time and effort, mate.

Well, my last response didn't make it to the newsgroup, so I'll try
again. Basically, I agreed with the others who said there certainly
are awards for satellite qso's, but even if there weren't, the
question still remains:

What is the proper method of logging satellite qso's so they can be
converted to ADIF?

Thanks,
