The few entries you get are from folks like my club K4CQ. The club is not interested in the Amsat Field Day. They allow me space on the tower to mount the antennas because it gets them the ARRL bonus points. I do it with hopes of influencing someone to become interested in Amsat. Has not happened as yet. I wont be in town this year for the operation so it wont get done. Guess you will have one less score to add in this year. I will miss the fun.
