I\nthink it is definitely doable but I don't really know who to contact\n(maybe [email protected]?).\n\nI wonder how one would get a card from the ISS? It appears that the\nARRL is the US QSL Manager (http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm#QSL's) so\nit should be feasible to have all the contacts go into the LoTW without\nany problem as well as getting a hard card.\n\nDo you want to try to petition the ARRL to make the ISS a DXCC entity?\nI'll be happy to co-support the idea.\n\n73s,\nEric KF4OTN\n\n\nCathryn Mataga wrote:\n> >ARRL should recognize the ISS as a country.
