A few other options,
Cloudlog: https://github.com/magicbug/Cloudlog
Typically used for FT8, GridTracker (https://tagloomis.com) can use an ADIF
and plot worked grids.
I have not messed with it in a while, but it was there last time I used it.

Hello sat ops,
I've been helping Chris VO1IDX figure out his logs for his activation of St.
Pierre & Miquelon.
The currently entered logs are online at https://clublog.org/charts/?c=to5m
Sadly Chris had some issues with his audio recorder while on, and also after
getting back from, the island.
So anyways, if you had a QSO with TO5M on SO-50, AO-85, AO-91, or AO-92, and
your callsign is not listed in the log, please shoot VO1IDX an email. If you
have a recording of any passes of these birds between August 13th and August
18th, where St. Pierre would have been in the footprint , shoot us both an
email.
73,
Marty Schuette N9EAT

Dear Amsat-bb
My name is Takehiro Okamoto, student leader of University of Tsukuba YUI
project in Japan.
The purpose of this e-mail is to collect ideas for D-ATV.
We plan to downlink D-ATV from our 2U CubeSat, similar to HamTV from ISS.
So please give us your ideas from this forms

Message-ID:
<CADGPg2sSd6=M_MYQhvOfsysr7qTHv3OjMMJMN0MkbLYS-p+_pQ@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Hi all.
I'm hoping for some suggestions to help me "get in" to AO-7 mode B.
So far, my experience is as follows (on any pass, regardless of elevation):
No matter what my output setting is on my IC-706MKIIG, I can only just
barely get into the transponder. Even on a good day, when I am seeing
multiple strong CW and SSB QSO's happening on the waterfall, my uplink can
only just barely be seen, let alone heard. The 706MKIIG ouputs 20W on
UHF, and checking with a wattmeter - it seems to be spot on (using FM -
could SSB be performing differently?). I've hooked up my M2 UHF cross
yagi to an SWR meter, and it comes in at less than 1.5. I can get into
all the other linears with relative ease.
My UHF crossed dipole is supposed to be RHCP (if I connected everything
correctly), and I believe that the 70cm Rx antenna on AO-7 is also CP,
correct? But is it RH or LH? And does anybody know of a RHCP UHF
downlink on a satellite that I can use to to positively confirm my UHF
cross yagi polarization?
Any other suggestions welcome.
FYI - I am using an RTL-SDR.com V3 dongle on receive, with GQRX controlled
by Gpredict - this setup actually works pretty well for me on all the other
linears, believe it or not! I am positive that this is NOT an Rx issue on
my end because I can see other strong QSOs in the waterfall - just not my
own. So I believe this is an issue with my Tx.

Do you see the other strong signals while you are transmitting as well?

Yes. I know that a strong uplink can overpower the transponder, so I
started on low power and worked my way all the way up to the high power
setting with almost no difference (at least that I could see). Existing
QSO's saw no issues whatsoever during my Tx'ing. We've got a 77deg pass
here in less than an hour, I'll try and get a screen grab of the waterfall
(maybe I'll record the whole passband).

My thought was desense from your transmitter. What's the antenna setup? I
think I saw that answer on QRZ or somewhere, but don't recall.

Everyone's doppler.sqf file is likely different, depending on which
satellites they are interested in/equipped for, and their uplink
calibrations will likely be different from yours. You build your own file
that suits your interests and equipment. Start with the one that comes with
SatPC32, and go from there.
There is no "master" doppler file anywhere that I am aware of.

Hi Bob!
I use Nader's ST2NH's Dopppler .SQF file I found on his website when I
first setup SATPC32. This one is about 1 year old so your gonna have to
edit some of the new satellites and modes in but this will do the majority
of the work for you!
