Well, it was "standing room only" in Georgia this morning! I was invited to give my ‘Working Amateur Satellites With Your HT’ session for the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society's TechFest 2012 in Lawrenceville, Georgia today (01/14/12). Although it snowed earlier this week and was below 40 for the morning, the hamfest was well-attended.
And it seems Georgians are interested in the FM LEOs! >From the organizers via email tonight - " ... a standing-room-only forum ... that was a wonderful presentation. The room was packed. We had tables and chairs for about 40 but I think we had at least 60. I heard a lot of good comments and praise about the presentation. The forum was a hit. It seemed you had everyone's attention for the whole hour ... " And from an attendee - "I was there, standing room only - I didn't count but it seemed to me to be about 50 people there. It was a great presentation. Many people were excited about getting ready to work satellites with their handheld ... " THANK YOU, North Georgia! Now, then, thaw out and have a great Spring - so you can walk outside and work the FM LEOs!
