As many interpretations as this FD rule and its subsection has elicited only points to a badly written rule.
For the purposed of FD was AO-51 a "7.3.7.1. ... single channel FM satellite"? It's a rhetorical question folks... No replies necessary. But a review of the AMSAT "AO-51 Monthly Schedule" web page shows that AO-51 was running on 2 channels - Channel A V/U and Channel B L/U :-)
Sorry for stirring the pot folks, but, just couldn't resist.

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.
George, This rule seems to allow only one contact on ANY FM bird. Most are interpreting this as one contact on EACH FM bird. Which is it? KC8ZFN John
