Note that it says additional QSOs may be counted for QSO credit ***unless
prohibited under Rule 7.3.7.1*** (emphasis mine), which you conveniently
omitted.
Rule 7.3.7.1 says Stations are limited to one (1) completed QSO on any single
channel FM satellite.
So yes, there IS such a rule.
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

I actually made most of our (W9CCU) contacts on FO-29 this year, with AO-7
and VO-52 close behind.
REALLY disappointed at the number of stations making multiple contacts on

contact they make deprives another station

visibility
at your station...

Don't leave out AO-7... looks like it will be in Mode A at the start of FD,

switch to Mode B around 23:35 UTC. As long as no one runs too much uplink
