[amsat-bb] APRS through ISS and FD

Hi,

Question. I know that a QSO WITH the ISS does not count as a space contact for FD. Is it also true that a contact THROUGH the digi does not count? I got a call from a local FD group, and the Q&A list does not explicitly rule that out. Or at least it can be read that way. It looks as if the "amateur radio satellite" part does knock it out.

Q. Why doesn't our contact with the International Space Station count for the satellite bonus? A. While the ISS is be definition, the purpose of the satellite QSO bonus is to complete an Earth to Earth contact via an amateur radio satellite.
