Guys, guys, I didn't intend to start an argument, that was not my intent at all. Maybe "dismayed" wasn't the right term to use. My interpretation of the rules was "do one FM contact and that's all." The spirit of it was to help keep the satellite clear for others to make their contact. I thought the spirit of this was to also apply to the other sats to help reduce crowding on them, even though the rule didn't say so. As it happened, I was fortunate to get a good contact on the first sat we tried and then I got off of there.

The guy at the other FD station had mentioned how many FM sat contacts he'd made during FD and I saw him make more. I didn't say anything, figured it was his choice. Besides, he had such a nice setup with three antennas and a rotator, and all of that for one contact? Why not make more and get on more passes. It just wasn't what I would have done.
