Thant is great info.
K4AMG will be GOTA station at the W4CAR FD. Since we have SSB CW we will
not operate SO 50 because of the congestion.
We tried FD last year but had to many program and other failures with an old
HR Deluxe.
Hope to work you all from Deep Creek Lock Park on the Waterway in
Chesapeake, VA FM 16.

Like Paul said, Class (# TX and A/B/C/D/E) and ARRL Section. E.g, for
me (operating as K4LRG), it will be 5A VA. I've noticed sat and VHF ops
often add the 4-character grid square ID, but class and section are all
that is required for FD.
ARRL treats ALL satellites as ONE BAND for scoring. I can work you
twice in total for FD scoring, once on voice and once on CW/digital (I
think CW & digital modes are treated the same, although it's moot as
ISS is the only transponder supporting non-CW digital). Anything beyond
that is a dupe. If the QSO is on SO-50 or LO-78 (our operating FM
birds), that's the ONE ALLOWED FM QSO.
AMSAT uses different scoring - each satellite counts as a separate band.
So we could work each other twice (SSB, CW) on AO-7, FO-29, VO-52, ...
73 & GL.
