It is never too early to begin preparing for field day. In fact, you might want to take a look at two pages. I updated the Field Day Statistics page (with 2016 numbers) and I created a new page with the results of Field Day 2016.
Both can be found by clicking on Events, Other Events and then Field Day
If there is interest, I can add the results of previous years. Let me know. I think I have them back to 2002.
Enjoy

Some combinations of web browser and possibly network firewall have a problem displaying and navigating the drop down menus. IE 11/Win7 from two different networks only displays the top tier of links under Events, so only the Field Day 2016 announcement page with link to rules is visible. Firefox (available on one system I can access) shows the full submenus and the links to the FD Results and FD statistics. Chrome on Android (phone) also works. The version I have of IE can display the direct links, just cannot get to them via drop-down: Results: http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=5575 Statistics: http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=5301

Hi Bruce!
In keeing with your comment about "never being too early to begin preparing for field day", I wanted to ask how I would request a change in the 2017 Field Day rules. I see the 2016 Field Day rules are still posted on the AMSAT web site, so I'll work with that for now.
After last June's Field Day, I posted a report of my activity here on the AMSAT-BB list:
http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2016-June/059257.html
Near the end of my post, I wondered aloud about the restriction on one QSO per orbiting packet digipeater, similar to the restriction on one QSO per FM satellite. I understand there was some reason that the "one QSO per digipeater" rule came about in the past, but fail to see its need now. I made packet QSOs during the 2015 and 2016 Field Days, and only counted one per satellite for my AMSAT Field Day submissions. ARRL's Field Day rules do not have a restriction on the number of QSOs per orbiting packet digipeater.
There was a fair bit of activity on the ISS passes I worked during last June's Field Day. Using APRS messages, it was easy to make quick exchanges with other stations. NO-84 was not busy, maybe due to people not realizing its digipeater was operational. Even with the level of activity I saw on the ISS passes, I don't think that approaches the almost chaotic conditions observed on some SO-50 passes.
I'm not calling for any changes to the restrictions on QSOs made via FM satellites. I would like to see this restriction on QSOs per orbiting digipeater reconsidered. It may have had a purpose in the past, but I think that's where the restriction should remain - in the past. Otherwise, AMSAT's Field Day rules are slanted heavily toward SSB/CW transponders, at the expense of anything else.
Thanks, and 73!
