Pete, as I understand it, there are two important lines in the .adi file
which must be included for LOTW to recognize it as a sat contact...
examples are shown below:
Propagation Mode: <PROP_MODE:3>SAT
Satellite Name: <SAT_NAME:4>AO-7
I've found that some logging software does _not_ have these two items
available as "fill in" boxes,
although I believe you can edit the .adi file manually to add these
lines.
See the link below for all the details.
I hope I read your question correctly and this will be helpful to you.

Hey,
I am going to visit Atlanta and stay there for about a week. Hope to
see some AMSAT folks there.

I'd hate to have us swayed by whether or not someone received a freebie from
a manufacturer as we recommend equipment.
When I give products away at shows, they are usually paid for - by me. Do I
ask for "dealer cost" pricing? Sure. Do I ask for freebies from smaller
concerns? Usually not.
Yes, there's some "behind the scenes" spitefulness because some firms don't
give away lots of products at every hamfest they're asked to. But those who
are asking are, for the most part, not small business owners, nor have any
clue as to what profit margins are involved nor have had the responsibility
of running such a small, specialized business.
And my judgement and pronouncements during presentations - and on the Web -
are never "tarnished" nor clouded. I'm never put in the position of stating
nor writing, "Well, I use XYZ because ABC didn't send me a sample."
Anyone who knows me knows I carry my "modified" Arrow antenna with me for
presentations and demos. But what did I purchase in Sam Ramon last quarter
at the ARRL hamfest? An Elk (ANOTHER Elk) from Ray. I use 'em both. I prefer
one over another due to my own first-hand experience the past several years
with several models.
No one can state that "Clint recommends this-and-that 'cause he got it
free." It's rather liberating being able to be 100% honest with one's
audiences. You're beholden to no one.
