    Yes! It?s totally legal. My 7 year old who is studying for her Tech license
    has made contacts on FM birds as well as linears such as AO-7. She either
    uses my call or her sister?s call and we act as control ops. Get those
    kiddos on the air. If you ever want to set up a sked with some YLs here,
    just let us know.

    Perfectly legal so long as the other station is in an area administered by
    the FCC.? However, if the station is foreign then you need to check the list
    of countries with which the United States has 3rd part agreements.
    The list of countries with 3rd party agreements can be found at the
    following URL.
    Also, you have to identify the foreign station, by call sign. This per 47
    CFR Part 97 Section 97.115(d)

    ?97.115???Third party communications.

    (d) At the end of an exchange of international third party communications,
    the station must also transmit in the station identification procedure the
    call sign of the station with which a third party message was exchanged.

    Otherwise such operation is perfectly legal.? In fact, the 3rd party can activate the PTT so long as you are present and can stop the transmission if necessary.

    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.

    Thank you all very much for getting back with clarifications, it helps a
    lot.? This will help share the thrill with the youngsters, as well as lower
    the bar for this wonderful experience, they deserve it.?
    For the most part, the satellite contacts would be within US and Canada.?
    It'll mostly be hand-held or tripod operation out in the local park, so I
    was planning on initially handling the antenna and the PTT until they get
    used to the fast pace.? With sufficient traction, my dream goal is to
    hopefully take it to the schools in our district.?
    ?
    Thanks again.

    Listen for amateur radio station W4A, a special event station, operating on Amateur Radio Satellites and HF bands this weekend commemorating after 50
    years of the landing of the "Eagle" and six hours later man walked on the
    moon.

    We will be operating inside the park from the US Space and Rocket Center grounds at Huntsville, Alabama. You never know who will be at the microphone
    at the satellite station as there will be several dignitaries onsite from
    the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. This is an opportunity that does not happen often.

    I will NOT be in SD for my vacation. Decided to come home from SD after visiting my sister in Medical School. I am going up the North Shore with my parents in MN, July 18-21. Still a lot of rare grids there as well.

    Going to be working from 3 different grids:
    EN47
    EN57
    EN58

    These grids are tied together right where I'm going to be staying.

    Hear for me on the FM satellites.

    Thank you for all the contacts from South Dakota.

    For Icom Z1A, the choice would be AO-91 and AO-92,
    followed by SO-50 and AO-85 when possible.

    I will be in DN46 from July 21-14 and will attempt contacts.

    I am restarting in ham satellites (last contact was in 2003 or so from BP64) with the same Arrow antenna and Icom Z1A.

    Bear with me as I fiddle and fumble.

    What do you all suggest as the best sats to operate?
