[amsat-bb] ISS contact protocol

I guess I'm a little fuzzy about what constitutes a valid contact when using the packet route. I have UISS up and running properly and can get into the ISS repeater and back out ok.

So, last night there was a good pass for me and I throw out my CQ. The repeater heard me and came back in red. Couple of tries later I see, in red "K7TRK N6YG, 599 in Carmichael". I try to respond several times with my return message but never see me come back in red.

So, is this just a partial contact as I did not see a red message from me to N6YG ? (I suspect it is)

Second question: Can ISS contacts via packet be logged in LOTW as SAT contacts?

Thank you,

Ted
