What do I have to fill in under SatMode when I want to verify a QSO via QO-100?

The sat mode is SX

QO-100 MODE S/X TX USB from 2400.055 to 2400.295 – RX USB from 10489.550 to 10489.800 (linear non inverted transponder)

MODE S/X TX DVBS from 2401.500 to 2409.500 – RX DVBS from 10491.000 to 10499.000 (ATV transponder)

HI,


When I have to manually check the QSOs I have to enter a sat-mode = SX.

Why? -> When I upload the QSOs with ADIF and I set sat-name to qo-100 and prop-mode to SAT all is fine an QSOs will be confirmed without sat-mode field.

Is there an ADIF-field to be set? Is there an official mode-list (amsat or eshail?) describing the modes.

If you don't set sat mode to SX, you will get : uplink 13 cm on the eQSL
if you set sat mode = sx, you will get : 2 way QO 100 mode SX

The most important is to set propagation mode=SAT and sat name =QO 100
If you can also add sat mode = sx, it may be a good thing
Don't forget the right mode , 3 QSO's in CW, FM, SBB with a same sat count as 3 award credits

So you mean that I do not realy need the sat-mode field...
But if I have to manually confirm the QSo by clicking the green circle I have to enter the mode - otherway eqsl does not allow me to save the qso (Error: You have to enter a Satellite Mode".

Torsten, dg7ro

The question was : Manually....either you enter a new one or reply/confirm manually

Manually, you don't have the choice...the system wants everything :

- propagation mode

- a sat-mode (you have to choose a sat-mode in the drop-down menu) => translated into uplink and downlink band

- sat name (you have to choose a sat-name in the drop-down menu)

Now, when you upload a file, here are the eQSL adif guidelines :

I made a test with XYL's account, one record with the sat mode, the other without (but with the band !)

Both were accepted, both would count for a sat award since the prop mode = SAT and there's satmode or band

I'm using HRD with automatic upload to eQSL.
I'm fillling in the correct data in HRD : propagation : "Satellite" , Satellite name : "QO-100" and Mode "SX" ... but when uploaded to eQSL the Satellite name is changed to "AISAT-1" and the mode box remains empty. So I have to manually correct all my uploads. Is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong ? (Yes I'm a rookie in sats) 73 ON4VT

Hi Danny,

I see that this question remains unanswered...
I don't use HRD, not active on QO-100 either, cannot really test it......easily

You'd better put this in the real support ? https://www.eqsl.cc/QSLCard/ContactWebmaster.cfm

some AB sat specialists who never check this forum will reply
