I'm replying to a recent post about an Canadian Astronaut not being a ham.
I have seen posted somewhere I believe the AMSAT website that Amateur radio
is a guest on the ISS. Its up to the individual astronaut if they want to
become a ham. Personally I'm grateful there is a ham radio station on board
the ISS. If one astronaut chooses not to operate that means more time for
another to operate.
