What is the proper way to log LOTW Satellite Contacts for stations working
on a grid line (dual grid)?
I just worked AD0HJ (DN95/EN05) via CAS4B.
I usually generate a log contact via TQSL then import the .adif into HRD
logbook and update all their info and grid. I'm just not sure how to handle
a dual grid?
Any advise would be appreciated. I'd like to get LOTW credit for both
grids?
Thanks from the newbie and 73

Hi Cal,
If nothing else, you can enter the QSO manually in the TQSL program. That
is what I do. It doesn't ask for the grid of the station you worked, just
date, time, mode, and bands. I worked AD0HJ last night for 2 new grids and
already have it confirmed this morning via LOTW.

Carl,
What John said... just log 1 QSO. When Mitch submits his log, he?ll take
care of both grids on his side and when the QSO matches you?ll get credit
for both.

Hassan,
Fully agree (and also worked or Rx most of the active birds) with most of
your observations and using circular pole does help, particularly for the
fading and I have advised Rich to use Moxon?s in circular pol. from
experience gained in schools projects with an antenna costing less than
US$30 DYI. Agree also that it's all not black or white as so many variables
and there is nothing such as a ?miracle antenna system? but only compromises
and any beginner is looking for a solution which will enable him to receive
the the maximum number of birds at the least possible cost.
Thanks for you input to the discussion, really appreciated.

What I am saying is don't expect to wipe out massive changes in rx or tx
signal strength on the LEOs by using circular polarization. It can seem to
help. It can seem to hurt. It can do absolutely nothing. All of which happen
over very short (< 15 to 30 sec) intervals.

Jean,
You bet, my pleasure. It is very interesting to be able to make IQ data
recordings and play them back using SDR Console v 3.xx
The ability to watch the downlink passband beacons (both CW and PSK, along
with any signal in the pass band is highly instructive w/r to differential
fading on different downlink antennas, but also the complete lack of
correlation with uplink polarization.
I can't tell you the number of times where the rx beacons are nearly 30 dB
out of the noise ....and an uplink antenna with the same polarization and
equal gain, cannot produce a downlink signal! It happens a LOT.
The impact of uplink/downlink antenna shading by the body of the satellite
seems to be a potential culprit.
Thanks so much for you input...and I like the Moxon idea, excellent
selection!

A little more detail for background:
The person who was present in two grids -- the DX operator -- defines their
multiple grid location in their side of the TQSL configuration. (The same is
true of being in four grids.)
LotW can handle the credit for multiple grids for one QSO.
Section 2.b of "Defining, Modifying, Deleting, or Copying a Station
Location" in the TQSL documentation describes it as:
> specify the Grid Square in which your station is located (this is
particularly important if you operate on VHF or UHF frequencies or via
Satellites, as it provides Grid Square credit to your QSO partners pursuing
VUCC awards; a Google Maps mashup on which you can click to see your Grid
Square is here)
> The value specified for the Grid Square must be one of the following:
>
> ? a valid Grid Square (4 characters)
> ? a valid sub-Square (6 characters)
> ? a comma-separated list of two or four valid Grid Squares or sub-Squares
that describe a station location at a Grid Square boundary or 4-way
intersection
> Here's an example of specifying a 4-way intersection:
