Subject: [qfox] 40M Fox Hunt tonight

?

Both Steve and John did a great job tonight in the midst of severe storms coming into the Southeast. Both (especially Steve WD4CFN) were very strong in Athens, GA this evening. I much prefer 40m hunts over the somewhat noisy 80m pelt attempts, but both have been lots of fun in my first year of really trying.? I hope both of you had as much fun as I did as a Fox.? Great work men!!!

Hi John,

Thanks for the "insurance" contact. I didn't see my first contact at 02:28 on the Fritz map - and it's still not there,?although both made it to your log. Only the second one made it to the Fritz map, and I wasn't?taking any chances on missing you. Better signal the second time around :)?

72,

I don't remember this happening before but I had several cases where hounds called for a second pelt. I couldn't figure it out at first, but then I realized I had gotten something wrong - name or state. So I apologize for miscopying you and making you fight through the pack again.?

I had two dx stations call in, who were obviously not qrp and didn't know it was a qrp fox hunt. I had one US station call in at 1TTW power. So scratch those three. Minus six dupes and I'm left with 60 pelts. Not a bad night all in all.

Thanks to everyone for the repeats, especially the CA stations that required many repeats on their names!? It was definitely a noisy night, but many good signals.? I was able to stay on the air throughout the entire hunt.? I was on 7.045.60Mhz.? ?Please let me know of any errors, and thanks for another fun hunt.??

Thank you for the hunt.? Hope to work you in the future.

Tomorrow night I will be your 40m fox, along with Steve WD4DFN. We will be prowling around between 7.030 and 7.050 MHz from 9 -10:30 PM Eastern, aiming to give out lots of pelts! I'll be running my K3 at 5w to my 40m dipole.
?
I will start out split, as always, and will transition to simplex if and when the pack thins out. There are often a few hounds who miss that transition. The signal is very subtle:? when split I send "CQ FOX AJ1DM UP" and when simplex "CQ FOX AJ1DM K". Pay close attention so you are transmitting on the frequency that I'm most likely to hear and thus most likely to give you a pelt!
?
Having said that, spread your QRG's so I can dissect the pack as quickly as possible. Zero-beaters make terrible hunters!!
?
I plan to post on the Fritz map.
?
I look forward to working as many of you Hounds as possible!

Lids

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

There are some lids participating in the Fox Hunts, which are barely fun anymore. One station tonight called continuously 11 times non stop. That interferes with other stations listening and it interferes with the fox. Then, when the fox asked for his name, he sent his state about five times fast. The fox had to ask for the name twice. If this event is to be a good way to learn and practice pileups, I assume we are talking about DX pileups. There is a DX Code of Conduct often adhered to in DXing. I see no reason why the Fox Hunt cannot adhere to the same courteous code of conduct. Here are the two relevant sections of the code:

?

4-I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.

7-I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.

40M Fox Hunt tonight

 

Both Steve and John did a great job tonight in the midst of severe storms coming into the Southeast. Both (especially Steve WD4CFN) were very strong in Athens, GA this evening. I much prefer 40m hunts over the somewhat noisy 80m pelt attempts, but both have been lots of fun in my first year of really trying.? I hope both of you had as much fun as I did as a Fox.? Great work men!!!

ARS Spartan Sprint Tonight!

 

7 to 9 PM CST

0100 to 0300 Z

?

Overview & Rule Summary

FOR THE ADVENTURE RADIO SOCIETY

SPARTAN SPRINT

?

What is an ARS Spartan Sprint and how can I participate?

The Adventure Radio Society Spartan Sprint is a two hour casual QRP contest.?

It is held on the first Monday of every month to encourage QRP operators to get on and go to somewhere

near the standard QRP frequencies on the 80-40-20-15-10 Meter bands for an evening of fun.?

It is open to all QRP CW operators ¨C there is not any membership requirement.??

Operating portable and/or using lightweight minimalist (spartan) equipment is encouraged, but is not required.

THE CONTEST PERIOD FOR EACH TIME ZONE IS:

EASTERN 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Local.

CENTRAL 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Local

MOUNTAIN 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Local

PACIFIC 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Local

Does?not?shift for DST ¨C This event is always at these Local Times

(UTC for STANDARD TIME : 0100Z to 0300Z)

(UTC for DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME : 0000Z to 0200Z)

?

POWER OUTPUT

To keep with its minimalist theme, Maximum Spartan Sprint power output is 5 watts.

?

However, a Spartan Sprint participant running 5 watts who is submitting

?results is allowed to work a non-QRP station.??That contact will count.

?

(A Non-QRP station is not permitted to submit results for this QRP event.)

?

?

OPERATION

We operate CW on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters, around standard QRP frequencies.

Call???CQ SP?????? Or listen for calling stations.

?

?

EXCHANGE

- Your Call Sign
- Your State or Province
- Your Power output

?

SCORING

Scoring is somewhat unique - score is calculated based on?[Number of Contacts] / [Station Weight].

Working the same station on a different band counts as another contact.

The weight of your station consists of everything except your antenna and feed line.

If your station includes your home-based rig, antenna tuner, DC power supply, heavy paddle or bug - obviously

you are not lightweight - simply report your weight as 30 lbs. (That is the default weight for the Tubby division.)

?

?

REPORTING
To report your results, go to?




, and select the?¡®ARS Spartan Sprint¡¯?(on the Left side).

You will enter your?[Station Weight]?and the?[Number of Contacts]?that you made.

Soapbox comments may include your power, equipment, antennas, band conditions, outdoor experiences,

and anything else you wish to comment on.

Scores will be Automatically Calculated

Reports will be available for both the Skinny (lightweight) and Tubby (heavyweight) entrants.

?

Looking forward to working you during the next Spartan Sprint.

AJ1DM 40m Fox Announcement

 

How did it get to be March already???!!!
?
Tomorrow night I will be your 40m fox, along with Steve WD4DFN. We will be prowling around between 7.030 and 7.050 MHz from 9 -10:30 PM Eastern, aiming to give out lots of pelts! I'll be running my K3 at 5w to my 40m dipole.
?
I will start out split, as always, and will transition to simplex if and when the pack thins out. There are often a few hounds who miss that transition. The signal is very subtle:? when split I send "CQ FOX AJ1DM UP" and when simplex "CQ FOX AJ1DM K". Pay close attention so you are transmitting on the frequency that I'm most likely to hear and thus most likely to give you a pelt!
?
Having said that, spread your QRG's so I can dissect the pack as quickly as possible. Zero-beaters make terrible hunters!!
?
I plan to post on the Fritz map.
?
I look forward to working as many of you Hounds as possible!
?

Re: N8SS 80M fox log

 

No comments, good or bad so the log stands as is.

Still have my pet peeve of hounds that call incessantly to the point where I am waiting for them to finish calling so that I can go back to them.? At least try to practice one shot, one pelt.

I did notice I had a second grouping of the pile up just a little up from the main pile which was just out of my passband but got to it when the main group petered out and I could take some time to spin the dial a little.

As usual was begging the last 30 minutes so plenty of time to work more if they were there.
