One and done -- It's been several years, does anyone think it has worked???? Maybe it is time to reconsider. I know it has convinced us to drop a satellite station from our lineup. Kevin or I just do the hand and Arrow for ten minutes get a Q and then pack it up.

So the way I interpret it, and the way I've operated since the rule was adopted (and I was one of those who hounded the ARRL to adopt it), is "ONE and you're DONE." Not two, or twenty, and you only get to SCORE one... ONE.
