[DXBase] LoTW Satellite QSO Question

Thanks to George, W1ZT, for the information he provided. I was able to edit my
ADIF file to add the following to each Satellite entry:
<PROP_MODE:3>SAT
According to the ARRL LoTW site, this tells LoTW of the "propagation mode". I
couldn't find a list of "propagation" modes on the site, but it could be there
and I just didn't find it.
I inserted <PROP_MODE:3>SAT just before <SAT_NAME:5>RS-12 for each RS-12 QSO in
the file.
I did it using search and replace in Notepad. I replaced <SAT_NAME:5>RS-12 with
<PROP_MODE:3>SAT <SAT_NAME:5>RS-12.
I don't know if it's important where this propagation mode is entered, but it
seemed to work. I was able to certify 63,099 QSO's with no errors.
I will be uploading this file to LoTW in a few minutes and we'll see what
happens.
73, Don AA5AU

George, you are probably right. That would have to be manually added but it can
be done pretty easy with search/replace.
BTW, does anyone know why this entry is required? Is this a mistake in LoTW to
be requiring this entry?
Regards,
Courtney
