Bob,
I have similar setup. I currently use DXKeeper, part of the DXLabs suite
to do my logging. I chose DXKeeper because it works well with LoTW and
does an excellent job of reporting.
After some thought I chose not to interface the logging program with the
radios or SATpc32. I did not want the headaches of port sharing software.
More than than that especially on the FM birds contacts happen so fast real
time logging just gets in my way. Rather, I keep a list of contacts as
they happen on paper and then log after the fact.
For other uses I have DXKeeper tied to the radio either directly or with
Commander (part of the DXLabs suite) or FT8 via JTAlerts but for the
satellites the manual method works just fine. Uploading to LoTW (and eQSL
if you want), ClubLog and QSL management and reporting is a breeze.

Hi Bob
I use VQlog for logging, SatPc32 to control the rotator and elevation and
for doppler on the rig, I have an IC-9100 and the Fabulatech serial port
splitter, everything nearly works OK SatPc32 control the rig and the rotor
perfectly but I don?t always get the uplink/downlink frequencies and mode
boxes correctly filled so something I have to watch, apart from that it logs
to LOTW etc and many more facilities I don?t use. You can download a
shareware version to try out, I have no connection to the writer of the
software, Im just pleased with the facilities and satellite logging

And the latter is done with the help of VSPE to make some virtual serial

more than once if you work them on different days.? I interpret this to mean
"50 different call signs."? Am I correct.? I have my flameproof suit on

Congrats!
On another note, the fact that we're at #427 in VUCCs issued is a
testament to the increase in popularity of satellite ops and grid
chasing over the past few years. VUCC Satellite has been around since
either the late 1980s or early 1990s. I received #248 in March 2014.
So, in about 5 years, about 42% of all satellite VUCCs issued in about
30 years have been awarded.

Good news. My IC 9700 is due to arrive around the third week of April. Was
thinking that the first challenge is getting sat32 to speak to it!
Does sat32 need some form of software update for this radio or can we do
it in the field?

Oh, my..... I am showing my age now. I became a ham in 1993 and
immediately went into satellite operations. My VUCC in late 1993 is #17.
For at least a dozen years after that they increased very rarely.
I am glad to see all the activity on the satellites and enough
satellites for everyone to have fun with.

Hi!
It looks like the satellite VUCC award has become popular
in recent months, as well as in the past few years. I got
my original satellite VUCC in May 2011, #210. In the past
few months, 4 others...
#399 for QSOs from southeastern Arizona, issued in October 2018
#400 for QSOs in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California,
also issued in October 2018
#413 for QSOs around Quartzsite AZ & Blythe CA, issued in December
2018
#421 for QSOs in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in
southern Arizona, issued in February 2019
And we are currently at #427... nice!
73!
