I apologize if this has been dealt with in a previous thread, but if it was, I missed it. Can we do a valid QSO by ISS digipeater? It seems to me that a message directed from one station directly to another station with a callsign, name and grid square and a directed reply in the same format would constitute a valid QSO. I'd like to hear other's thoughts. Even it doesn't constitute an "official" QSO, I'd like to try it anyway. I've been sending messages to specific stations on the Heard list via the UISS software, but have never received a reply specifically addressed to me. If anyone is interested in doing that, I will probably be on Tuesday, May 12, around 1005 UTC and again around 1632 UTC.
