Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] ISS for Field Day
Again, Earth-Satellite-Earth contacts count for the 100 point Satellite
Bonus, whether they are relayed through equipment on the ISS or some
other satellite. Contacts made with operators located on manned
platforms in space do not count for the bonus but do count for QSO
points. It's treated the same as Maritime Mobile and Aeronautical
Mobile stations. Consider the ISS crew as an Astronomical Mobile
station.
If you're taking the time to set up a satellite station for FD and the
only contact you make through an orbiting body is with the ISS crew,
you're doing a pretty poor job of communicating.
My advice is; quit moaning and groaning about it and make some contacts
on satellites. Field Day is about Emergency Preparedness communications,
not about contacting one individual operator!

If someone takes the time to set up a satellite station for FD and
points
the antennas into space either manually or mechanically and it's either
a
manned platform or transponder it should count.

Oh I'm not moaning, just expressing an opinion which at times is difficult
to do on this reflector.

In my opinion, if a ham makes a QSO with someone who is NOT on this planet,
that should count for even more points, because it is such a rare feat. I
think the ISS should have its own DXCC classification. It certainly is as
far away (or more) than most islands from their parent countries.
