Can someone sanity check me, please? I'm trying to convince a guy at the ARRL that the ISS needs to be added to the LoTW as a satellite and he says it is not valid because it isn't a satellite but rather an airplane.
Does he think you're talking about the Shuttle, perhaps and not ISS? Even Shuttle when on-orbit, is a satellite, however.
It orbits the Earth, it's a satellite. Basic physics. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... you're not insane, but he might be.
