[amsat-bb] Digi QSO via ISS?

[Sean Kutzko]

There needs to be an exchange of info and acknowledgement from both stations that reports were received on both ends.

Kx9x: CQ KX9X
Kc0bmf: KX9X de KC0BMF EM29
Kx9x: KC0BMF R FN31
Kc0bmf: KX9X R 73
Kx9x: 73 QRZ KX9X

UISS software can handle this quite easily.

That's my opinion, anyway.
