For the purpose of Field Day, LilacSat-1 or LO-09 will be considered a digital satellite and not a single channel FM satellite. The reasoning is that an FM single channel satellite has an FM voice modulated signal going up and an FM voice modulated signal coming down. With LO-90, there is an FM voice modulated signal going up however, you must have separate equipment to demodulate the digital signal. This will also score three points for each digital contact that you make. Sorry for the late rule, LO-90 is a very new satellite and mode.
