Fox Ex. 2025/04/25

 

Below is the log for NO2D from Parker, Colorado.? We, too, had rolling thunderstorms all afternoon and right up to dinner time.? 40 meters has near S-9 QRN throughout the hunt. I did not hear two stations that I normally do on 40 meters, K0DTJ in CA and KR0U in CO.? Both were active, but I did not hear them.? My log is:

W4CMG? 0123 TN Cathy 5w
WC7S 0125 WY Dale 5w
K4PQC 0127 GA Phil 5w
NK9G 0130 WI Rick 5w

I heard no foxes for the first 23 minutes of the hunt.? I did hear one more fox calling, but could not make out her/his call.? No one was at all strong.? I gave out a nominal 559 because my S-meter was buried near S-9 throughout.? Looking forward to the summer hunt.? Thanks to everyone who helps to make our beloved fox hunts possible.? Without you all they just would not happen.

Pete, NO2D, Parker, CO.
 

Hi Peter: I heard you very strong on 40M last night, but never heard you call CQ and you didn't answer mine. Maybe I was the one you couldn't identify. Unusual for us not to be able to work each other and will blame it on your thunderstorms. Look for me and KU8E as W4AN/M in the FL QSO Party this weekend. 73/72, John, K4BAI.
 

Hi, John,?
I am sorry I did not hear you, or I heard you too faint to make out the call.? I read the "rules" before the Ex. and they said that all the foxes and committee members could call CQ fox.? I am neither, so did not think I was eligible to call CQ.? I agree that we do seem to have a strong pipeline between us.? You are almost always one of the strongest stations on the band when I hear you, whether it is a fox hunt or any other time.? For some reason my North-South aligned 80 meter doublet does seem to favor the Southeast.? Florida and the Carolina's also seem to come in strong here.? I will look for both of your stations in the Florida QSO Party.? It is one of my favorites.

Pete
