All those with satellite stations for Field Day, remember to calculate and
submit your scores for AMSAT Field Day as well as ARRL Field Day. AMSAT
Field Day allows working stations on multiple satellites, whereas ARRL
rules count "satellite" as a single band (working a station on a second
satellite is a dupe under ARRL rules). AMSAT Field Day also awards points
for uploads and downloads of Field Day greetings from store-and-forward
packet satellites (FalconSAT-3).

See the AMSAT Field Day rules and submission requirements at
https://www.amsat.org/field-day/.

There are 4 FM satellites, 12 linear transponder satellites, and 3 digital
satellites that will be operational during Field Day this year. Anyone
looking for the 100 point ARRL Field Day bonus should be able to easily
pick it up.
