Our March meeting was on the subject of portable stations, and FD is the ultimate portable event. I ran the K4LRG (5A VA) satellite station again. This was the year everything finally came together - computer control of radios and antennas worked, got our 1st QSO in on the 1st possible pass (AO-7), and we worked 41 stations total (5 contacts were dupes under the AMSAT rules, so 36 official). Had a great time.
I've posted some pictures of the operation on my Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/photos/117118704526929601037/albums/5892865960051970...
Hope everyone who gave FD a try had a great weekend.
