Abstract :
Ground-satellite-satellite-ground intersatellite communication using the AMSAT-OSCAR 6 and AMSAT-OSCAR 7 radio amateur satellites is described. The closest approach period (centered around the end of January, 1975) may represent the first use of two satellites interlinked directly to support communications between two earth stations.
