[amsat-bb] Winterfield day and FM satellites

[Tanner Jones]

1500 point bonus for making a contact - only one (don't believe it matters
which mode).

Satellite Contact rules: Satellite contacts do not count as a new mode/band
multiplier. Satellite contacts are limited to ONE ONLY per entry so as to
not tie up satellite frequencies with stations calling CQ WFD. A
simple CQ (versus
CQ WFD) is sufficient and you should be prepared to give a signal report
and your VHF Grid Square to the other station versus your normal WFD
exchange. A satellite contact is worth 1500 bonus points, one time only.
Making further contacts earns no extra points. If you complete a satellite
QSO, be sure to note the bonus points as well as a short synopsis of the
contact in the “Soapbox”. Chances are very good that the other station will
not be a WFD contestant and he will likely want a confirmation of the
contact afterwards, especially if your location is remote. Be considerate
and comply.
