Since satellites are a shared and limited resource, contesting has long been prohibited by a gentleman's agreement dating to the 1970s.

Any contest that encourages participants to make a large number of FM satellite QSOs within a limited period of time is just asking for trouble. No responsible amateur radio authority or organization would sanction such an event.

I agree with Paul. I don't believe contesting has a place on our VHF/UHF FM satellites.
