Re: ISS satellite QSO?



If you work another ham on the ground, yes, it counts as a satellite contact 
towards all the AMSAT awards and the ARRL awards. However, if you work an 
astronaut, you do it for the fun of it, they do not count towards any of the 
AMSAT or ARRL awards.

You can also use your packet contacts through the ISS towards awards.
