A special thanks to Steve Smith, KG5VK, SARA President, and an avid supporter of FD 2007. Always positive and upbeat, Steve never seems to be brought down by the little things that inevitably go wrong. Again this year Steve went all out for FD, bringing out a high-end radio, a Yagi, a computer, and a lot of other gear. Steve is a genuine contest operator (which probably should be added to the endangered species list, at least in these parts) and he led the phone tent under less than ideal propagation conditions to a respectable 500 SSB Qs. He was also one of only four (4) still at the FD sight after midnight. Steve, thanks again for your outstanding FD support!

Marsh, KA5M
