I'm about to try and make contacts with other hams through the ISS Packet station.

I watched the traffic and there's all kinds of stuff being sent.

I was thinking that a clean and short contact would be something like this: N9KT>CQ,ARISS::CQ de N9KT - EM69 W9IMS>CQ,ARISS::N9KT :W9IMS - EN11 N9KT>CQ,ARISS::W9IMS :QSL and 73 via ISS

Or for the very shortest: N9KT>CQ,ARISS::EM69 W9IMS>CQ,ARISS::N9KT :EN11 N9KT>CQ,ARISS::W9IMS :QSL

Any thoughts?
