Ben,
Congratulations and welcome to the kool-aid. You never forget your first
satellite contact, mine was W6AJP 21 July @ 0100UT on AO-51.
Your comments are spot on. What's the saying? We have two ears so we should
listen twice as much as we talk.
Like you, I'd love to get on the line

On a related note, I saw a FAQ that indicated that LOTW does not accept ISS
contacts. Is that still the case? Seems kinda strange.

To clarify, I was referring to contacts relayed via ISS either through the
digipeater or the voice repeater.
