[amsat-bb] Roving questions

[Bryan KL7CN]

As Paul says, it's on the honor system. However, it is not a bad protocol to take a picture of yourself or your location with the GPS location-stamping enabled in your phone camera. There was a time when I went to a relatively exotic location on a cruise ship and operated from the land ashore of the boat. A picture settled arguments between the suspicious and the pedantic for Satellite DXCC credit for that operation.
