Well, that may be, but I read the Field Day rules, and as we all know, Field Day is NOT a "contest". If other rules override the Field Day rules, it should be widely published, or mentioned in the Field Day rules, which it aint.
Yes, it is... Field Day rule 9.2:
9.2. See "General Rules for All ARRL Contests," "General Rules for All ARRL Contests on Bands Below 30 MHz," and "General Rules for All ARRL Contests on Bands Above 50 MHz" for additional rules (www.arrl.org/contests/forms ) that may cover situations not covered in these Field Day rules.
I agree that making more than one contact violates the *spirit* of the rules, but NOT the written Field Day rules.
Did you read THIS year's Field Day rules? It doesn't get more explicit than this:
7.3.7.1 Stations are limited to one (1) completed QSO on any single channel FM satellite.
