Does anyone really believe that a tweak or a clarification of the rules will improve the situation next year?

Bill,

Your comments about the silliness of using a flying FM repeater for Field Day are spot on.

How about we put this to a vote ... everyone who wants to discontinue the 100 point FD bonus for a sat contact sends $20 to Martha at AMSAT-NA for Eagle.

Everyone who wants to maintain the FD status quo sends $20 to Martha at AMSAT-NA for Eagle.

After 30 days she can tally up the votes and we'll see how it turned out.

One way or another, we get closer to having an HEO on orbit.
