    Default Logging split frequency contacts on LotW

    I worked NH8S this morning on 40 meters and I'm hoping for a confirmation when they upload their logs in April. He was transmitting on 7082 and listening on 7181. Which frequency do I use when I upload my log to LotW? Can anyone tell me what the proper protocol is for uploading split frequency logs?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    I would think that the frequency you transmit on ?
    I gave up on LotW , so do not know if there is a slot for mentioning split .
    Waiting to see answers .

    I believe that you are fine as long as your contact frequency matches the band he was working.

    I am hoping that they upload sooner than April for OQRS donations.

    You log your transmit frequency. FOr LOTW, it only matters if you are on different bands.

    Thanks for your input, guys. Someone suggested that I should log the frequency where I received him, since some stations use a range for listening when working split (e.g. "listening 5 to 10 up"). If LotW only looks at the band, I suppose it really doesn't matter.

    Thanks again!
