[amsat-bb] Satellites Contacts for Field Day 101

[Mac A. Cody]

 From my experience, it helps to work nighttime satellite passes.  Even
the FM satellites are not as busy late in the evening. That's how I got
the 100 bonus point for my club last year.  They'll probably be even less
busy in the wee hours of the morning.
