[KB2YSI]

Hello,

I have seen the QSL manager download change the SAT name for a contact that does not reflect the QSL'ed information from LoTW:

As you can see the 02:23:12 contact was SO-50:

However the 01:59:01 contact was on RS-44:

I re-ran the same download and it tries to flip them to RS-44, but in the saved log neither are RS-44:
