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:

Log4OM is using the data downloaded from LOTW to update the database so if the downloaded data received from LOTW shows different to that recorded in your logbook it gets updated

Check the LOTW (Incoming) download file in Log4OM and check what LOTW sent you on the download
