I read the article in the journal concerning field 2007. I understand that on the FM satellites only one contact is allowed for credit. Last year when AO-51 was configured for the QRP operation on the second transponder we were allowed two contacts via AO-51. Since the decision has been made to use Mode-L on this second transponder why not allow two contacts again this year? I see no reason for field day stations to make the effort on Mode-L if they can get there one credit on mode V/u. I guess there is a valid reason for the Mode-L on field day. I would guess it would be to motivate stations to use it. Just my thoughts for your consideration.
