But it’s not as easy as using a handheld to open a repeater and make 4 QSOs so I think allowing satellite contacts is perfectly reasonable. Perhaps it could be broadened to include any satellite QSOs. This would allow the whole world to take part and would also be a bit more accessible than QO-100.
It would make no sense to involve just one satellite, but QO-100 would give one third of the world an unfair advantage even if any satellite could be used.
AM mode challenge? Just throwing that in. I need to try that mode more…
