That would be great!  If the aliens can't get here I could finally retire

Just asking for clarification, or how do most do this...

When working a Sat other than FO-29 (where I stay locked on the 2 meter up
frequency and tune the 70cm down frequency), say one of the XW or CAS birds
where the downlink is 2 meters and up is 70cm... which frequency stays
locked and which gets tuned?  I've read that you tune the higher frequency,
but then wouldn't the other station be chasing me?

They're chasing you on FO29 too.  Tuning the higher band minimizes the chase.

I always tune the uplink to stay on the same downlink freq no matter if U/V
or V/U.

There is not a set standard.? When working the linears, you will find
operators that adjust [1] uplink and downlink (usually computer controlled),
[2] adjust only the uplink, and [3] adjust only the higher frequency.? The
latter two are normally operators performing manual tuning, but I have seen
some using computer control for one VFO/radio
Most common method for manual tuners and the one I use, is to fix the lower
frequency (most often VHF) and adjust higher frequency (UHF) for doppler.
If you are calling CQ, then pick the method best to your ability.? If you
are answering a CQ call, then either [1} switch to their method or [2] make
your call very quick, before doppler drifts away.

There very much is a recommended standard operating practice. Not everyone
follows it, but if they would, there would be less drifting about. If you
can't tune both, tune the higher frequency.

I am wondering what many of you might be using for a logging program for
Sat Work?
I have a couple different ones here to choose from, just wondering what
others might be using that is all.
I know that there are several, just need something that will for fairly
easy for working with the sats.
Where much of the stuff that goes on here we have to have a lot of
hands-on as compared to when working digital modes on hf.

Just looking for something that I can also create a adi file later and
export to my main program once I get it working correctly again.

Message-ID: <embcb4e359-5094-4a64-b893-6639a87af5e5@???????>
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=utf-8

I'd like to convert my paper satellite logs (dating back to the 1980's,
from AO-10 on) to as yet undermined logging program.  I'd need to create
an ADIF file regardless of the final destination (including LoTW and/or
Clublog)

Is there any way to do this other than inputting every QSO one at a
time?

I thought about scanning them and then using an OCR program to put them
into a spreadsheet, but that seems to be equally -- or more -- labor
intensive.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

[2] adjust only the uplink, and [3] adjust only the higher frequency.  The
latter two are normally operators performing manual tuning, but I have seen
some using computer control for one VFO/radio Most common method for manual
tuners and the one I use, is to fix the lower frequency (most often VHF) and
adjust higher frequency (UHF) for doppler.

are answering a CQ call, then either [1} switch to their method or [2] make
your call very quick, before doppler drifts away.
