Hello,
I was in contact with the ARRL, after I read 7.3.7. and 7.3.7.1. in the Field Day Rules. I mentioned to the League that I would like them to point out where in those rules it would prohibit scoring the same call on multiple Linear Satellites. They listened to my point's and agreed that even though the rules refer to satellite contacts as a separate "band" there is nothing in those rules that prohibit the aforementioned scoring. In conclusion Field Day and the AMSAT scoring are now in agreement, have fun.

That should make it much easier for everyone as you don't have to do one log and then strip out the unwanted calls for the other. Thanks Pete. I am glad that the two minds (ARRL and AMSAT) have become one.

Pete & Bruce,
Good to know about the LINEAR birds. The rules are still different, AMSAT will allow one V/U and one V/S contact on AO-51. The ARRL will only allow one contact on AO-51.
73, Joe kk0sd

Yes guys, This makes it important as an AMSAT satellite operator doesn't have to put his gear away after one(1) contact. He can still Demo the sats for the observers. Good luck being heard through the 50 watters... Good job Pete. 73, Dee, NB2F

Dee,
Yes Dee good point, now that a station can make FD points on all the Linear Satellite's it might encourage Clubs to increase their AMSAT visability and run a complete station. It will be another opportunity to help DARA add more matching funds towards our goal of "Getting Back into Space".
I had a fantastic Hamfest hosted by LIMARC, we had a very visable location, next to the well designed Great South Bay ARC's communications trailer, which brought more visitors to our AMSAT Booth. I want to thank K2TV, AB2ZI, W2JGH, K2IZ, W2HCB and KA2CAQ, all graduates of my satellite classes who helped with the non-stop visitors to our booth.
I also want to thank, Richie, K2KNB, who headed the LIMARC Hamfest and the other volunteers for making AMSAT so welcome, you always run a big succesful event. I will be making a satellite presentation to the club in November. I have attached a few pictures of the day..
