Does anyone use HRD Logbook for logging sat contacts?? There does not seem
to be a seamless way to upload to loTW from that logging program.I
personally use AC Log and modify the program for sat contacts by setting up
the required fields per LoTW specifications.? It works great and have had no
problems at all with it.? HRD Logbook does not seem to have a way to modify
the required fields for LoTW upload that will satisfy LoTW requirements.? I
have a friend using HRD for this and he cannot upload his contacts, except
by manually uploading them from the LoTW "create adif file" in TQSL.? Any
info would be helpful.

Hello All, COVID19 will not stop Route 66 on the Air!
For this year it starts Sept 12 goes thru the 20th. If you will be
hunting for the W6 stations
for this event, I will be representing W6D on the Sats, FM, and SSB birds.
only paper QSL cards will be issued for W6D contacts. (no LoTW)
for the mailing address go to QRZ.com for W6D. This page also has link
for more info on the event.
I will be operating from my home QTH, in DM14. (not far from Rt 66)
good hunting!

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
G?day Mark,
The 9k6 packet is being generated by the Kenwood. It?s the standard Mic-E
format APRS beacon that the radio generates. It carries info that is
displayed on a receiving Kenwood radio, such as location, course, and speed.
The radio is not receiving GPS data, so most of that ?data? has no meaning
for ISS. The only things of interest for ARISS are the current program mode
(indicated by the status message) and the temperature of the radio final amp.
You can see the temperature as the final 2 characters of the dest address,
0P0PS4 in the packet you quoted. It?s a bit odd, because of the Mic-E
encoding. In Mic-E, P-Y decodes as 0-9, so S4 represents 34 degrees C.

Hi Jerry, the HRD logbook will work fine for upload to LOTW. There are just
a couple of steps needed....
First, make sure you have a field in your log for 'Satellite Name'....hit
the 'Layout' button and add it where you want.
Second, when you complete the qso, hit the 'add' button and HRD will bring
in all the frequencies, etc.
Third, in 'Logbook', click on that entry and you will see a new window. At
the top, click the 'Show' tab and select tabs or click all the boxes..
Fourth, you should now see a line of tabs at the bottom of the modify
window. 2 of these tabs are important to complete the correct log for LOTW.
1. the 'Ant/Sat' tab. Fill in the exact sat name, as it is known by amsat,
norad, etc. (i.e AO-92...not ao92 or AO92) in the "mode' drop down, select
FM or SSB or whatever you worked 2. Click the 'Propagation' tab...in the
'propagation mode' drop down, select 'Satellite'
Fifth, click the 'Update' button and all should be good in your log. If you
have a QRZ xml subscription, you can click the 'Update' tab and it will
bring in more info from your contact NOTE: if the contact is roving or in a
different grid than his callbook address, you will need to add the correct
grid in the 'Modify' window
Lastly, if you have set up the LOTW Upload tab in HRD, you can click an
entry, click the 'LOTW Upload' tab and it will be sent to LOTW. Or you can
export an HRD log to an adif file and upload that way to LOTW.
FYI, lots of HRD bashers on this list, but the above steps work just fine...
73, Ted

Does anyone use HRD Logbook for logging sat contacts? There does not seem
to be a seamless way to upload to loTW from that logging program.I
personally use AC Log and modify the program for sat contacts by setting up
the required fields per LoTW specifications. It works great and have had no
problems at all with it. HRD Logbook does not seem to have a way to modify
the required fields for LoTW upload that will satisfy LoTW requirements. I
have a friend using HRD for this and he cannot upload his contacts, except
by manually uploading them from the LoTW "create adif file" in TQSL. Any
info would be helpful.

Here are a few websites that are space related that you might want to check
out. (***)
?
The Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL, has on-line free presentations.? Check
out:
Adler Astronomy Live?takes place every other Thursday at 12:00 pm CT (17:00
UTC) and lasts around 45 minutes. The September 10 topic is The Aquarius
Project.
https://www.adlerplanetarium.org/event/adler-astronomy-live/.? I was the
control operator and mentor for an ARISS contact that was held from Adler
back on 2002-12-29.? If you ever get to Chicago, check out the museum.
?
If you are looking for space memorabilia to buy, then check out The American
Space Museum and Space Walk of Fame in Titusville, FL.? They are holding an
on-line auction of space stuff.? If you ever come to watch a launch at KSC,
be sure to check this museum out.? It looks small from the outside but it is
anything but on the inside. They tell you they have Friends in Low Places as
much of their displays come from the KSC workers.?

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
