[sarex] Re: 25th year certificate

[David Barber]

Hi JoAnne

Thank you, I'd forgotten all about that.  For some reason I was expecting
some information on what proof was required for contacts made via the
various ISS modes other than with the ISS itself or SSTV reception.

Looks like I better type it up and send it off in the hope that it's not too
late!

Thanks again.

David

Below is what ARISS had posted on the www.amsat.org web page during the
event to claim your ARISS certificate. The press release mentions a
timeframe for the QSO's counting toward the award but they didn't say if
there was a cutoff for sending in your QSL information.  Hope this helps ...

receive an ARISS Commemorative Certificate.

Please note on your QSL the ARISS mode of operation (e.g. SSTV, voice,
