Hello all....I think that what Tim-XC meant was "no repeater type
contacts" rather than characterizing things as terrestrial vs
satellite. EME contacts are not terrestrial, but they sure are not
"repeater type" contacts either. They are just like the western folks
that bounce their signals off mountains to make QSOs that normally could
not be made.
I agree with Tim that satellite contacts should not be allowed. As I
understand it, the satellite folks have a complete set of their own awards.

What about EME QSOs? Those are not terrestrial.

Adding Satellite QSOs to a Terrestrial Award is something I Can NOT
Endorse.
They are separate from Terrestrial VUCC awards for a reason.
Create a 5B VUCC award by all means all the reasons stated, just leave
Assisted QSOS (Repeaters, Satellites, Etc) out of it.

Just heard back from Mike Ritz, W7VO who is the Director of the
Northwestern Division. He’s fully supportive of the proposal to create
the
new award.
Reach out to your ARRL Director today, and let’s see if we can keep the
momentum going!
