In the past, I've been able to upload satellite contacts and eQSL has properly marked them as such. Recently however, eQSL has not been correctly marking uploads as satellite contacts. I haven't changed anything in my upload format. I have gone in and manually marked a few of them but these corrected ones don't appear in the proper category in the Satellite Grid award standings.

Roger, Dave is still working on getting everything sorted out. He has made some changes and just needs to tweak things. He is aware of the problem and I expect it will be sorted out as soon as he gets back in town and gets time to do so.

I do have the same problem with my sat QSOs, mostly they are counted as direct contacts which is totally wrong. But I guess solving the problem is simple: The uploaded ADIF-File must contain the adif-field <SAT_NAME:5> to show which satelite was operated, not only the uploadfrequency as it is required now. Little bit helpful could be to upload both - up- and downloadfrequency, but that could also be a crossband QSO. The best way is to require the SAT_Name field for sat-QSOs.
You cannot find out if a great distance 2m QSO was done via satellite only looking after the gridsquares, calculating the distance. Such a QSO can be made via meteor scatter or moon bounce for instance.

Yes, but my ADIF do contain the <SAT_NAME> field and they are still not counted as SAT contacts.

I am still experiencing this problem. Even when I send QSLs properly tagged with all the relevant SAT info, they come back as non-SAT contacts. Is this problem still being worked? Thanks!

I am also experiencing this problem. I have confirmed that my adif file has the proper tags. Is there an update to this issue?

Eqsl should change their site to include the satellite name per the list on the LOTW Faqs.
I'm thinking that my sat qsls on EQSL are worthless or will have to be researched for historical tracks.

p1k.arrl.org/lotw/faq

Read the LOTW requirements for yourself
I don't have the heart to reject sat QSLs for the missing criteria.
It may be a surprise to many when it comes time to count cards and apply for a league certificate.
I changed all of them to mode sat J which designates U/V or V/U .

Many are complaining about the higher per card fees due to the league increases
and are considering going to Amsat for their awards.

Hopefully the admin at EQSL will pay attention to the problems users are having when LOTW rejects their logs.
