This is a time lapse video showing our contacts first by mode and then by band. Each frame in the video is 5 minutes worth of real time. The small red dot is were our FD operations took place. The Rate is QSOs/hour. The video was made by Jeremy N5HIM using a combination of open source tools (Quantum GIS, mencoder, ImageMagik, GIMP, python, numpy, matplotlib, SQLite, SQLite manager, Spatialite, QGIS Time Manager). The video was rendered in HD so to see all the juicy details set the quality to 720p and make the video full screen. For additional details see http://zunkworks.com/FieldDay2011Infographic
