I hope everyone had a good time for field day. Now the real fun begins. 
Submitting your score towards AMSAT Field Day. I worked 6 different 
satellites. A couple had only 2-3 of us on as other satellites were also 
passing over at the time.

Here are some reminders. As the ARRL relaxed the rules allowing 1D 
stations to work everyone including other 1D stations and submit their 
score towards their club's score as well as their personal score, the 
scoring is going to be interesting.

If you worked from home and you include the name of a club on your 
submission, the club will need to aggregate all the contacts and make 
sure there are no duplicate contacts. For example, home station K1XXX 
worked K2AAA on RS-44, EO-88 and CAS-4B. Home station K3AAA also worked 
the same 3 stations on the same 3 satellites. The club would not be able 
to claim the same stations twice. However, each of the home stations can 
submit the same 3 contacts as their own personal score unless they 
worked the same stations again on the same satellite with the same mode.

Remember, only 1 contact per FM satellite is allowed. If your club had 
contacts from 10 members that submitted towards the club's score and 
they all worked the available FM satellites, you can only score one 
contact per satellite. Each of the home stations can submit one contact 
per FM satellite towards their personal score.

All club's submitting a score this year need to submit their log. I 
would rather ask for this now than have to get them later. It will make 
it easier for me. I would prefer digital format, Excel spread sheet, 
ADIF, Word document, but not a PDF as they are not as easily searchable.

Finally, all submissions need to be in to me no later than 11:59 PM 
Central Time on Friday, July 17, 2020. Send to either kk5do at amsat.org or 
kk5do at arrl.net or both. I will reply that I have received your 
submission. Include stories and pictures to make the journal article 
more interesting.
