Correct...on the FM satellites you are only allowed one contact. On the SSB
satellites, you can make as many as you can. The first contact is worth 100
points, each additional contact is worth one point. It's a lot of effort for a
small reward.

But……you are only allowed 1 during field day. ARRL:One important thing to
remember is that the ARRL Field Day rules have changed in regards to these
single-channel FM satellites. Stations participating in ARRL Field Day are
limited to one (1) QSO on any “birds” that fall into the single channel FM
classification. This change is to allow more groups the opportunity to
experience the thrill of satellite communications. Once you have made one
successful FM Satellite QSO, PLEASE allow other Field Day groups the same
opportunity at bonus points that you had. Now that SO-50 is the one of the few
functioning FM satellite, usage will be exceptionally high. Harold “Marty”

Subject: [tdxs-list] FD Sat Station is QRV I assembled and tested the satellite
station for Field Day this weekend. I managed to make nine QSO’s on three
different satellites. 73, Glenn WB5TUF
