Good news on the ARRL front...

Hi Eric.

After review, ARRL will be permit contacts through the ISS (Earth - ISS

• Earth) to be counted towards satellite endorsement for WAS and DXCC.

This applies to contacts made via the onboard repeater equipment provided that the equipment does not hold and re-transmit information.

Contacts with the ISS do not receive any award credit.

Further information will be available on the LoTW website.

Thank you for bringing this to light.
