If the desire is to promote Amateur Radio Satellites on Field Day for the 
greater majority there will be more stations with V/U and/or V/S capability 
than L/S or L/U capability based on historical observation. You can promote 
variety or you can promote AMSAT to the greater Amateur Radio community. 
Field Day should be a day utilized to promote Amateur Radio Satellites, not 
a separate or elite group that the majority will fail to achieve without 
more unique equipment required. If we fail to reach the greater Amateur 
Radio community we may fail to reach out to a greater number of new 
recruits.
