Whatever your opinion about\nthe ISS, I believe the AMSAT Board has felt made a distinction.\n\nWhen talking to the astronauts on the ISS you aren't making a satellite\ncontact. It is a LOS (line of sight) contact. When you make a contact\nwith someone else on the ground VIA the ISS then it is a satellite\ncontact.\n\nI am trying to get the ARRL to recognize the ISS as a satellite when\ncontacts are made VIA their gear not when you make a contact with the ISS.\n\nEric KF4OTN\n\n\nRoger Kolakowski wrote:\n> Eric discovered...\n> \n> \"...and apparently the ISS is not a satellite.\"\n> \n> Hi Eric...\n> \n> AMSAT has never considered ISS as a satellite and has always maintained the\n> SAREX Board and discouraged crossposting so that no-one gets confused and\n> thinks that it has satellite \"status.\"\n> \n> This has made for some interesting situations' including the release of\n> Suitsat-1 which was SAREX news until it was released and then it became\n> AMSAT-BB news.
