Ray - W2RS said (in part):
"You do not receive an additional bonus for contacting different satellites, though theadditional QSOs may be counted for QSO credit."
I can read that either way, so I suggest that the ARRL rule be reworded next year to eliminate the ambiguity.
What is confusing about that? You get the 100 point bonus for making a single satellite contact. Additional contacts via satellite do NOT net you an additional 100 point bonus. Additional contacts DO count for your QSO count (unless prohibited by rule 7.3.7.1). Read section 7 of the Field Day rules and in particular section 7.3 and it's quite self explanatory.
