What logging software do you use? Did you ever have issues with logging satellite contacts? Let me know below...

[@OMCsplace]

Glad I could help, take good care!

[@alekseygrachev4025]

Thanks. Very hard to find any information on how to log SAT contacts in HRD. LoTW has separate Band and RX Band fields. Interesting enough that HRD database also has the COL_BAND_RX field but I have no clue how to populate it.
