Hi jim, and you wonder why the world hates us. There is no air in space when we lay claim to our "Airspace" Thankfully, reagan had the foresight to promote the "International" space station to promote peace among nations. Everybody wants to rule the world.....now space! Strength through Peace Dont "Think Tank"......Think Peace! pat

Seems typical to me that the federal government would set a precedent in which they encourage licenses in space which I assumed to be free space. Why should anyone require a license off the planet?
In normal (i.e. non-emergency) circumstances, a licenced amateur radio station may legally communicate only with another licenced amateur radio station. Space is no different than the open sea or international airspace in that respect.
