I do not believe the single FM contact per satellite rule has helped. I
propose we try something else -- we have a powerful east coast station
(W1AW) and a powerful west coast station (K6KPH). The only FM satellite
contacts that count will be with either station. They will not work
duplicates.
Maybe someone can dig the archives better than me, but I remember there was
an elegant solution years ago.
