One and done -- It's been several years, does anyone think it has worked????
Maybe it is time to reconsider.  I know it has convinced us to drop a
satellite station from our lineup.  Kevin or I just do the hand and Arrow
for ten minutes get a Q and then pack it up.

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.
