Agree, The rules state,
7.3.7.1 Stations are limited to one (1) completed QSO on any single channel FM satellite.
So maybe the ARRL dhould DQ these people when they submit their logs?
I hope so.
Granted this doesn't stop someone operating just to make contacts and don't send in their logs for FD.
But wow it would sure make my 5A group remember that rule if after doing all this work (Fun) to have it listed as a DQ because of breaking that rule that is soo clearly stated.

I have a comment regarding FD satellite contacts. If I remember correctly, it has been established that a station only make one (1) satellite contact during the FD period so everyone can have a chance. Making a contact or contacts on each of the available satellites during each of their passes is improper and not according to my understanding of the rules.
