hi everyone.
I have a quick question regarding logging.
I am using the Dx Patrol ground station.
When logging do I log the Rx freq eg 10.489.700 or the TX freq, for which I have no clue as the ground station does not tell it.
Thanks

Hi
You should log the Uplink frequency/band.
If your log allows, you can log also the Downlink frequency/band and/or the Sat mode (eg SX, for QO-100).
In any case, your should always log the Sat name (and export/print it on the QSL Card).
I hope this helps.

Thank you for reply.
So u iam using the dx patrol ground station, it does not show the exact tx freq with offset. So can I just log all qso as 2.4ghz ?

Yes, or 13cm only, if you prefer. Again, it will depend on the log you are using. In my case I use DX4WIN. See an example below.

There are some logprograms which cannot log a sat qso. The right way is with uplink freq, propagation mode SAT, sat name etc as mentioned above. Without this it is logged like an ordinary 13cm and that is not the same. In Eqsl you can see all received qso's, even if they don't match while in LOTW only the matched qso's are visible(if i'm not wrong). I use VQlog since years, but it is not freeware. Wrong received qsl's(paper or digital) are rejected.
