Just wondering if the qfox group moderator(s) might consider
activating the Yahoo Group calendar? I use the Yahoo calendar as part
of my My Yahoo home page and this is the one group I wouldn't mind
populating my calendar. It might prove handy for others as well.

On the other hand, I unsubscribed from the SolidCpyCW group simply
because it populated every single day of my calendar with a 3905 Club
WAS Net reminder. I liked that group, but didn't like what it
did to my calendar.

I guess what I'm asking is, would you activate the calendar, but don't
over do it with too many reminders? Maybe have one weekly for the 40M
hunt and another for the 80M hunt.

Finally, thanks for the group, and thank you to the Fox Hunt
organizers and volunteers.

Hi All,

I had N1IX a full 559 and from my seat he was working simplex for the
hunt. I lost him to the SS Practice.

Yep, Al, there were some rude ops in that bunch last nite. Bill kept
saying DN and many kept calling him on frequency. It was a struggle to
hear who he was replying to. I finally worked him down about 1 kHz.

He

really was working split...[g]

Actually I was doing that on 80 after bagging both foxes. It was helpful as I found a problem with my logging software that I needed to fix....lots of room on (unused) upper 80m cw. I'm sure some say what's all this fox stuff generating un-needed pile ups on 40 meters..... Lets use the bands, Share, and Be Considerate of all....

Why wouldn't it work? If I had had sense enough to write down some of
the
calls I would have been quite happy to fire up the linear and and call
CQ Fos
right on top of them.

I suppose SS "Practice" is legal, but there is not excuse for poor
operating
procedure and the OOs should be sending out a lot of postcards.
Hmmm... maybe
we could designate ourselves as "UOs" (Unoffical Observers) and do
something.
How about a "Hall of Shame" web site, or, wait for it-- the NOC
(No-class

- pse let me know direct about any changes - 72 Bruce.

At least according to my low-tech calibration anyway.

Bill (low) was working down mostly, sometimes on frequency. Got him down about 1Hz.

Dave (high) was working up mostly but simplex when I think I worked him at 0313 or so.

Just as a head check...where were the foxes anyway and were the listening up
or down most of the time?

As Todd and myself are getting the scoring going once again, it would be
extremely helpful if each Team would let us now who is their team "leader"
or "representative" or "media person?" heh, "media person" I love it! :-))
- Todd has something he wants to ask this person - thank you all - 72 Bruce.


-ps- "some hunt last night eh?" "oh, there was a hunt?" "I heard noise for
2 hours" "Yeah, but how do you QSL noise?" "Record noise on audio tape and
mail it!" "Hopefully the noise will be therapy to a crazed mind in the
Regina area eh!?!" "Actually I worked 2/3 Sweepstakes stns!" "yeah?" "sure,
no kidding, W3PP has a loud signal calling SS" "Aw, ham radio, ya gotta love
it!" Good luck to all next Thursday!!

I listened around the band early in the evening and again about a
hour before the hunt. Lots of good signals from around the country.

However, once the hunt started not only did I not hear N1IX I never
heard the pack calling him.

I heard Bill at ESP levels all night but never loud enough to hear
his entire exchange to a hound. I too heard him send DN on several
occasions but heard him working simplex a lot. I contributed to the
on freq mayhem - the four or five times he was loud enough I felt I
had a chance - because he was clearly working simplex.

Last night was a total wash from the portable location in SC.

Oh well, better luck next week.

Al, K2ZN

I actually heard Bill, early on ..... it was difficult. He was 449, tops; and I heard someone calling DN (didn't realize that was Bill). So I tried working split - by sending about a kc down; but it sounded like the guys who were calling on frequency were the ones being answered.

Anyway, after about 20 minutes into the hunt, Bill faded out completely; so I went down to 80 Meters and had a ragchew there. Later, coming back up to 40, I heard a hound or two work Dave; but I never heard a real good pack which seemed strange.

It was especially disappointing for me; as I have been having problems with a S3 to S5 background noise on 40 Meters lately. Whatever neighbor is using whatever appliance must have had it turned off last night. Last night with no signals, the background noise didn't even register any of the K2's LED bars! I was psyched, only to walk away empty handed.

Oh well, there's always next week! With any luck, I should be able to work Doc. But I think I won't even be hearing you, John. I think we're too close for 40 Meters.
