Neither rule prevents you from making more than one FM contact. Both rules just prohibit you from SCORING more than one FM contact.

To have an AMSAT rule that directly conflicts with the ARRL one-and-done rule is ridiculous.

In the AMSAT rules we do state, because someone asked about it, you can be a net control type station and work every station you want. You would only be able to score one contact yourself but had given many out to those trying to make the 100 point satellite bonus.
We still feel by limiting to one FM contact that if you worked someone and both of you leave the bird, two more stations can work each other thereby maximazing the number of possible contacts on the satellite during a single pass.
