It seems crystal clear to me that you get a certificate regardless:
Thus:
/*If you have had two-way communications with the ISS on voice, packet
(APRS), or through the voice repeater, or have heard the ISS from space
in any of the ARISS operations modes (voice, SSTV, school contact, voice
repeater, digital) between November 30, 2008 to January 15, 2009 you
qualify to receive an ARISS Commemorative Certificate.*/
Therefore, unless Mike or someone up there picks up the mic and speaks
directly, de facto, all voice contacts are two-way (earth to ISS to
earth) through the "repeater"!
And you are "communicating" with the ISS because *it *is the repeater
during that mode of operation.

Mineo Wakita, JE9PEL sent a Cubesat launch alert for seven amateur
radio satellites planned as secondary payloads when Japan launches
its GOSAT IBUKI satellite on January 21, 2009 at 03.54 UTC.
GOSAT - Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite is an environmental
monitoring satellite which will be launched from Japan's Tanegashima
Space Center aboard the H-IIA F15 booster.

BID: $ANS-011.02
Clare, VE3NPC and Graham, G3VZV completed a transatlantic contact
via AO-51 running an uplink of 145.880 MHz FM and downlink of
2401.200 MHz FM at 10:11 UTC on January 9, 2009. Clare reported
the elevation at 5 degrees and a range of 2700 km. The two stations
completed a short QSO with clear signals.
Clare says his equipment consists of a 52 turn helix with reflector
cup into a DEM preamp and downconverter into SatPC32 controlled
FT-736 for 13cm receiving on 2401.200 MHz. He used an FT-847 with
2 watts into 2 x 6 el quagis for 2m for his uplink. Complete infor-
mation on the 52 turn helix was published in the September/October
2008 AMSAT Journal.
At the other end of the contact Graham, G3VZV says he was operating
with an IC910 barefoot. The antennas included WIMO circular polarised
VHF (10 dBd) and UHF (12 dBd) crossed quad antennas and the famous
G3RUH 600mm/2 foot dish and patchfeed with a Kuhne DB6NT preamp at the
feed left over from AO40 operating. The antennas are all at about 40
feet. The satellite reached around 3 degrees elevation. Graham
says he did all doppler tuning correction by hand.

updates to the AO-51 Operating Mode Schedule to better support a

AMSAT-DC Spring Satellite Workshop Seeks Members for Mission Teams
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 011.03
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
January 11, 2009
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-011.03
If you find yourself in the Baltimore-Washington DC area this
spring you may be interested in learning more and participating
in an AMSAT-DC workshop which simulates building, testing, launch-
ing, and receiving signals from an Amateur Radio satellite.
AMSAT Area Coordinator for the Maryland-DC area, Pat Kilroy, N8PK
is proposing such a workshop for the 2009 AMSAT-DC Meeting and
Space Seminar. This meeting is historically held in early spring at
or near the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
Pat is proposing individuals and groups of Amateur Radio operators
form teams who compete at this AMSAT-DC workshop to create and
operate a satellite mission.
The first groups will build a PICetSat II flight module from a kit
of electronic parts on a small printed circuit board. You can see
an example of the original PICetSat module at:
http://patkilroy.com/simsat/3/
The second groups will set up simple satellite ground stations to
operate on 433.920 MHz SSB. These team members need to provide a
radio, antenna, and feedline for the 70 cm band.
The third groups will be in charge of setting up and loading soft-
ware in the computers at the ground stations to decode the telemetry
and to analyze it according to a set of instructions.
This event will be perfect for beginners and advanced satellite
users alike, all ultimately working together to "launch" the flight
module, receive the downlink, and decode the telemetry. Instructions
will be provided in advance of the event to enhance preparation.
Pat notes he needs volunteer help to plan and organize this event.
A couple of dedicated individuals are needed immediately to start
the plans to lock in the workshop meeting space, advertise the event,
to do the footwork needed to process participant applications, and
to assure one set of radio and computer stations are on hand and
ready at the start of the workshop. To volunteer contact Pat at his
e-mail address: n8pk@xxxxx.xxx as soon as possible. Pat will convene
a conference call for all interested participants to finalize the
Workshop details with the volunteers.
Pat requests that interested amateur radio operators RSVP to him via
e-mail n8pk@xxxxx.xxx and indicate which group you will be most inter-
ested in working with. The cost of the Workshop is still "TBD" to cover
the materials and meeting space. Those choosing the PICetSat II will
keep their completed project.

1. School Contacts
Axam Jatiya Vidyalaya in Guwahati, India had a successful ARISS
contact on Wednesday, January 7 at 08:01 UTC via telebridge station
W6SRJ in California. Approximately 1300 students are enrolled at
the school. All students are taught in Assamese with English taught
as a compulsory second language.
Tongfu Road No. 1 Primary School in Guangzhou, Guangdong, P.R. China
has been scheduled for an ARISS contact on Saturday, January 17 at
10:23 UTC. The school is over 70 years old with an enrollment of over
1000 students. An amateur radio club was established at the school in
2007 and during the same year a team from this school won the national
youngster's amateur radio contest. Elective courses on amateur radio,
space technology and ARISS are offered to the students. All grades
have participated in essay and cartoon contests to prepare for the
contact. Students have written letters to the astronauts and determined
the questions to ask. Media coverage is planned with newspapers, tele-
vision and the internet.
2. Technopolis Contact Successful
On Saturday, January 3, students visiting Technopolis in Mechelen,
Belgium experienced an ARISS contact via telebridge station VK4KHZ
in Australia. The students asked Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, 16 questions
with time left over to exchange Season's Greetings. Approximately
100 students, parents and ham radio operators attended the event.
Three television stations and two newspapers reported on the contact.
The audio was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT and JK1ZRW servers and
received 29 connections from ten different countries including the
Ukraine and Romania. More information on the contact may be found
on the ARISS-Europe Web site: http://www.ariss-eu.org/2009_01_03.htm
3. ARISS 25th Anniversary Special Event Update
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ham radio in space, an ARISS
commemorative event will be held during the month of December through
mid January. A special certificate is being developed for those who
communicate with the ISS, either 2-way direct (with the ISS crew, the
digipeater, or cross band repeater), or 1-way reception of SSTV or
voice downlink. For more information and an update on this event,
see: http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm under "Latest News."

Slightly off topic
I have a demo for 12 year old kids Thursday at about 1600 gmt. I would
like to demo Echo link with some ham outside of the USA. If you have the
time to come up on Echo link and talk about ham radio and satellites please
get email me.
Thanks

Nick:
I'm stateside, so I can't help you. But just as a FYI, if you want the
kids to be able to talk to the station, make sure that you follow 3rd
party traffic restrictions.

IMNSHO, it's silly this day and age, but rules are rules.
