[amsat-bb] Control Operator Clarification

[jim at k6ccc.org]

For the most part, yes.  If it's a domestic contact, you are good to go.  If it's an international contact, there has to be a Third Party Operating Agreement with that country.  There is a list of countries on this page:
http://www.arrl.org/third-party-operating-agreements
Note that what countries are or are not on the list may surprise you in some cases.  For example:  Cuba = yes; Great Briton = no.

Greetings,
Sometimes I have kids and would-be-hams watching me wide-eyed work the FM sats and I wished I could get some of them on the pass too.  

So the question is, is it legal to allow them do it with me as the control operator handling the PTT ? 
on a not-so-busy pass, of course !


Thanks and 73, 
Umesh, k6vug
