The intent of the rule was to reduce the congestion on the FM satellites by 
getting stations OFF them after making their one QSO, thereby giving more 
stations the opportunity to make a QSO.  So the way I interpret it, and the way 
I've operated since the rule was adopted (and I was one of those who hounded the 
ARRL to adopt it), is "ONE and you're DONE."  


Not two, or twenty, and you only get to SCORE one...

ONE.
