Note that it says "additional QSOs may be counted for QSO credit ***unless prohibited under Rule 7.3.7.1*** " (emphasis mine), which you conveniently omitted. Rule 7.3.7.1 says "Stations are limited to one (1) completed QSO on any single channel FM satellite." So yes, there IS such a rule.
7.3.7. Satellite QSO: 100 bonus points for successfully completing at least one QSO via an amateur radio satellite during the Field Day period. "General Rules for All ARRL Contests" (Rule 3.7.2.), (the no-repeater QSO stipulation) is waived for satellite QSOs. Groups are allowed one dedicated satellite transmitter station without increasing their entry category. Satellite QSOs also count for regular QSO credit. Show them listed separately on the summary sheet as a separate "band." You do not receive an additional bonus for contacting different satellites, though the additional QSOs may be counted for QSO credit unless prohibited under Rule 7.3.7.1. The QSO must be between two Earth stations through a satellite. Available to Classes A, B, and F. 7.3.7.1 Stations are limited to one (1) completed QSO on any single channel FM satellite.
Yes, so I read this to say: You can make as many satellite QSO's as you want. They count as another band, each counts for QSO credit. You get 100 bonus point when you make the first Only one QSO out of the total QSOs can come from any/all of the FM birds.
Could a lot of the "multi-QSO" issues have come from the fact that folks simply didn't understand the rules?
