Re: Fox Hunt Tomorrow!
Bill says:
I will be looking for you as I do not have a pelt this season andWhat kind of antenna will you be using for the fox hunt. hope to get at least one this time... Thanks and good hunting.<< I will be alternating between a Force 12 C4 (fancy way of saying a rotable dipole[g]) and a GAP Titan vertical. The C4 is a good performer on 40 and surprisingly directional. The vertical is noisy by comparison but often will hear signals at 90 deg to the beam heading, so I check often. The 8th district should be pretty easy tomorrow night from here in CO so if it takes a while keep at it-- bound to hear you eventually! Good luck... 73 Marshall Emm N1FN/VK5FN n1fn@...

Fox Hunt Tomorrow!
Hi, Guys--
ET will be getting on his bike and heading for the auspiciously full moon tomorrow night. Yes, I'll be one of your Foxes and I've got a pelt here with your name on it. If you haven't been participating in the Hunts, please visit www.qrpfoxhunt.org for all the details. In accordance with the rules, I'll be somewhere in the vicinity of 7.040, but I'm not going to tell you where. And when you do find me, PLEASE do not post a spot on the list! It's not fair to people who won't see your message till the next day. I will be working split at the beginning-- please listen for UP or DN when I call CQ and call me above or below my transmitting freq. How far off you should go is kind of indefinite, but it should be at least 500Hz (half a KC). Most RITs are capable of putting you off that far, but if you can't work split don't panic-- I'll be listening closer and closer to "zero-beat" as the hunt progresses. If history is any guide, I will be working zero beat for the last half hour of the hunt and will also be happy to take slow down as much as needed. The moon is full, the gods of propagation have been propitiated, and there's plenty of "lead" in my pencil. Do stop by and pick up a pelt! Good luck in the Hunt... 73 Marshall Emm N1FN/VK5FN n1fn@...

Correction to Log: KG0PP
Kip Williams N6NVP
I wanted to make sure you'd gotten my request for correction to the fox hunt
log for 11/25/04. I was the contact listed as: "0239 N6NV 559 Kip CA 5w". My correct call is N6NVP. (Everything else looks good.) You were my first fox ever, Jim. Thanks for the time you spent on this and I look forward to catching you, again. 72 Kip N6NVP #-#-#-# Kip Williams N6NVP | San Diego, CA | San Diego County | DM12ks #-#-#-# |

Same here, again. I tried the vertical and sloper and bagged neither. At

least I heard more this time. If I don't get a pelt this week, I may just hibernate for the winter and build a QRO amp. Something to warm the basement on those cold nights. Dennis, NU8S

fox hunt in ohio
squiresbill
Well like the last 3 weeks I got nothing to show for my efforts in
Ohio but I see this week 2 of our ohioians got a pelt.... congratulations to them and maybe things are getting better. Maybe it is time to try a different type antenna. Now that the holiday is over maybe I will stick something up in the back yard. Will be in there this week again.... Bill N8WS |

KG0PP - Preliminary log for Nov 25

What fun! My first time as Fox and I was a little nervous to say the
least. Thanks to everyone for going so easy on me. I apologize for those I missed, conditions were extremely weak to the east coast and south east. 40 m was very short with strong signals from CO to TX, NM, KS, CA, OK, MN and WI.

Re: FOX

For the first hour I heard nothing! Then, in the second hour, Jim KG0PP came up nicely and I was able to bag him. Strangely, I never heard W8RU or the pack chasing him. For those of you who got him ... what frequency was he on? I'm wondering whether I was in the ballpark of off on Pluto somewhere.
