Hi Frank,

Thanks for clarifying my QSL options, and sorry about the confusion on the ARISS involvement. I had assumed that his activities were driven by the contract he had with the Russian tourist thing (I forget the organization name).

Richard's flight was a major event, and all involved should be proud of what was accomplished.

Thanks again,

Greg KO6TH

Greg,

You have three choices. You can send for an ARISS QSL in the usual manner. Or you can wait to see if Richard will be developing an additional card. Or you can do both (if the second option opens up). Either way I think you will want both cards, so if you are "itching" send it through the ARRL channels as shown on the ARISS web page www.ariss.org.

And to clarify about your comment reagarding Richard's flight not being an ARISS event, Richard's activities were coordinated through the ARISS volunteer team. I am not sure what you meant by that comment. But all amateur radio activity on ISS (Development and Operations) is coordinated through the ARISS international team.

Thanks for all your interest in ARISS.

73, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO

Hi Kenneth,

The FAQ page that is linked to the SSTV upload site (http://ariss-sstv.ssl.berkeley.edu/SSTV/faq.php) says:

"How do I QSL or SWL? Details are being finalized for the handling of QSL/SWL cards. Please check back again soon for more information."

That page is probably newer than the ARISS site, and since Richard's flight was not directly an ARISS event, it would seem that other arrangements are being made... Which site should I trust? My card is itching to be mailed...
