For the most part, yes. If it's a domestic contact, you are good to go. If it's an international contact, there has to be a Third Party Operating Agreement with that country. There is a list of countries on this page: http://www.arrl.org/third-party-operating-agreements Note that what countries are or are not on the list may surprise you in some cases. For example: Cuba = yes; Great Briton = no.

Greetings, Sometimes I have kids and would-be-hams watching me wide-eyed work the FM sats and I wished I could get some of them on the pass too.
So the question is, is it legal to allow them do it with me as the control operator handling the PTT ? on a not-so-busy pass, of course !
Thanks and 73, Umesh, k6vug
