Thank you to contacted stations in Montana ... Tennessee ... Laguna Beach
... Colorado ... Texas ... the event's parking lot ...
Huh?
A special thanks to Patrick WD9EWK for his assistance last Saturday during
the 2nd annual Palm Springs HamFest. While working the second pass of the
day, I heard a familiar voice calling me. Same grid square, too - DM-13.
Just after contacting Tennessee, and kiddingly telling the assemblage, "Wow
- can this REALLY work THAT far? Tennessee at 2 Watts?" ... Patrick contacts
me from the parking lot of the event ... (grin)
SO ... We communicated with stations from 150 feet away, to 2000+ miles away
in Tennessee. The group was properly impressed!

Now that we have a week of so67 activity I am confused about the tone.? I am
currently using the tone, and made 1 contact (new grid!) on the only pass I
could work yesterday.? I'm also reading a few reports about not using the
tone as the preferred method of working so67.? What is the BB vote - tone or
no tone....or doesn't matter?

I was using my TH-D72A with a Diamond 2m/70cm long duckie (about
20"/50cm in length) on it, with an earpiece so I would not have any feedback.
Knowing Clint's setup, I figured he would hear me from the satellite and not
on the uplink. Since this was an impromptu thing, I did not have my audio
recorder set up. I made sure to stress the distances the radio signals
covered to bridge that short distance between us at the hamfest. That was
fun!
That hamfest was a nice way to spend a day. I have not spent any time in
Palm Springs - other than fuel/food stops along the freeway going to or from
Los Angeles - in almost 20 years, until the hamfest. Several regular
satellite
operators made their way to Palm Springs, besides Clint. I saw Larry WA6DIR,
John W6ZKH, David K6CDW, and Bob KO6TZ during the day. I was able to
get on a couple of VO-52 passes from places around Palm Springs before the
hamfest, and an AO-7 pass after the hamfest, along with that AO-27 pass. Not
a lot of radio work for me, but that's OK. Clint put on good shows for the
hamfest crowd, and DM13 isn't all that rare (KO6TZ lives up the road a short
distance from the hamfest site, and there are others who get on as well).
73!

Gary (K4MF) and I (LU6QI) made several attempts during more than a
month (we tried on more than 15 passes for sure) for a QSO on AO7 in
cw in Mode A or B. Finally on Jan 30, 2011 we succeed. We made a fine
short qso in Mode B at 2315 UTC during the orbit # 65714. It was a
very clear copy with the satellite just above the horizon. The
distance between Gary?s location (EL98JG) and mine (FF66TQ) is
7024,45 Km. I don?t know of any other qso between USA and Argentina
on low altitude satellites, at least I never saw it reported on the

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply - that helps me get a better understanding of how it
works. I have never entered the propagation mode into HRD, so I would have
to manually go through and update each entry (329 since Oct. 24), so I think
I am going to update and upload only my portable operation QSOs DATED AFTER
Oct. 24 (when I started using HRD instead of paper). This would encompass
the EN80/EM89 operation on Oct. 30, EN70vb operation on Nov. 30, EN90/EM99
operation on Dec. 17, 2010 and again on Jan. 29, 2011. If someone needs my
home grid (EN80) confirmed via LoTW, send me an email off list and I will
update the propagation mode and upload that as well. I just can't see
spending all of that time to make a change to all of those entries. From
now on I will enter "satellite" as the propagation mode, and then I will
upload both portable and non-portable QSOs. I did read in the instructions
about how you could cut and paste the changed in the ADIF file, but after
trying that it would take just as long to make the changes in HRD.
73!

The ARRL does a nice job of spelling out the parameters here:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%20Instructions/N5JB.pdf
The band that matters ( according to the ARRL ) is the band you transmit on,
not the band you receive on.
Here is the data you need to log the contact and have it count in LOTW
<CALL:6> [The Station You Worked]
<QSO_DATE:8> [YYYYMMDD]

<MODE:3> [SSB, CW, FM, etc.]

Please note it is VERY unforgiving as far as entries go. Things must be

the exact allowable clock difference, but I'm sure it is several minutes at
least.

For a data match to occur, both QSOs date/time (in UTC) must be within 30
minutes of each other.
Here's the link to the LOTW info that spells out what constitutes a data
match.

Excellent link Scott..
..and, unless I'm missing something' It proves that LoTW does not care if it
sees whether or not the 'TX' frequency is 2m or 440 or whatever. LoTW wants
to see the proper SAT name and the correct propagation in the 'propagation'
adif field. (along with the other parameters)
What anyone choodata match to occur, both QSOs date/time (in UTC) must be within 30
minutes of each other.
Here's the link to the LOTW info that spells out what constitutes a data
match.

Anybody notice a hang-up in LOTW yesterday or today?
I uploaded about 300 QSO's last night, they never showed up on
my count yet. So I uploaded them again this morning, same thing.
BTW I also uploaded all the RS-13 mode T QSO's and a bunch of
older AO-27 QSO's this week, about 4000 QSO's. They went in OK.
73,
John K6YK

It does happen sometimes. I wouldn't say that it hangs up but just slow
processing the logs.
I've been using LOTW since the beginning and have seen where it may take
anywhere from a few minutes to a day for the totals to update. The CQWW 160
contest ended Sunday night and the server/database may be working overtime
if many are uploading the contest logs right now.
