I told ya not to look....:)

still tweaking ...:)

Hi gang, Think I got a twofer last night. At least the foxii were far enough away that I could hear 'em. Put up a quicky attic doublet yesterday. The hunt was its first test. Hadn't gotten anything back up in the air after Ivan 'til then. Took all of my wire down for the storm. Good thing too, the eye passed directly over the house . . . Don't know if AJ4AY has put back any wire yet. I know he is aiming to. I haven't been on the air much lately, but I take it that 40 is getting longer and longer and longer. Hope to see all of you in the hunts! Take care es ttul dave ab9ca

Hi Gang, My first hunt, ever, K2 with 5w CF Zepp at 25ft. I thought it strange hearing CQ FOX from W0IS, then learned later he was substitute for W5KDJ. Got Brer Fox Rick early on through a nice pileup. Never heard Brer Fox Lloyd due to his being too close to my SC QTH. Never even heard a likely pileup trying to work K3ESE. Hmmm Then the Sweepstakes practice started. Man those guys were loud in the K2 rcvr. 73, de Joe, aa4nn

I had fun on opening night, mostly, until the curtain came down at about 0315...then the QRM took over at 0330. If I erred, please email me direct. Thanks for playing, and I'll see you in the Pack next Thursday! 0200 N1FN 559 CO ET 5W 0201 KG4FSN 559 FL Juan 5W 0202 KT5V 559 TX David 5W 0203 W7SW 559 AZ Scotty 5W 0204 AA5O 559 LA Vern 5W 0204 K5JHP 559 TX Bill 5W 0205 N9AW 559 WI Jerry 5W 0206 AB9CA 559 AL Dave 5W 0206 KK5LD 559 TX DP 5W 0207 K5ZTY 559 TX Bill 5W 0209 WA0ITP 559 IA Terry 5W 0210 W5YR 559 TX George 5W 0210 K5EOA 559 LA Wayne 5W 0211 W5TB 559 TX Doc 5W 0212 K0EVZ 559 NM Doc 5W ...a paradox?? 0212 AC5JH 559 OK Tom 5W 0213 W0UFO 559 MN Mert 5W 0213 N5KIP 559 LA DG 4W 0215 K0LOA 559 TX Dwain 5W 0216 W0IIT 559 KS Bart 5W 0216 K0PC 559 MN Pat 5W 0217 W9UQB 559 AZ Mike 5W 0218 N5ZE 559 TX Lew 5W 0219 AA5CK 559 OK Ted 5W 0220 K5DI 559 NM Karl 5W 0221 AG0T 559 ND Todd 4W 0222 VE6KG 559 AB Norm 5W 0223 W5USJ 559 TX Chuck 5W 0224 W0CH 559 MO Dave 500mW 0225 KZ5J 599 TX Pat 3W 0226 K6VNX 559 CA Arlen 5W 0227 W0ANM 559 MN Chris 5W 0228 K5PSH 559 TX Jerry 5W 0229 VE6EX 559 AB Dan 5W 0230 AC7A 559 AZ Tom 5W 0231 NK6A 559 CA Don 5W 0232 W5HNS 559 TX Henry 5W 0232 K5BGB 559 TX Rod 5W 0233 VE3FAL 559 ON Fred 5W 0235 VE5DC 559 SK Jerry 5W 0236 KI0KY 559 CO Steve 5W 0238 K7HBN 559 WA George 5W 0239 NB7F 559 OR Lee 5W 0241 AK5X 559 TX Bill 5W sounded like 5KW... 0242 WA5BDU 559 AR Nick 5W 0243 K7FD 559 OR John 5W 0243 W0AV 559 MO George 5W 0244 N0TK 559 CO Dan 5W 0244 N0AR 559 MN Scott 5W 0246 VE5RC 229 SK Bruce 5W 0248 KB5FCF 559 OK Joel 4W 0249 K6ESE 559 CA Trev 5W nice call! 0250 K6XR 559 CA Reg 5W 0252 KD5UDB 559 LA Chris 5W 0252 K0MAX 559 MN Max 5W 0254 K9IUA 559 IA Kevin 5W 0258 AD5NE 559 LA Brad 5W 0258 KR0U 559 CO Tim 5W 0259 W7ILW 559 AZ Walt 5W 0301 W0NTA/M 559 CO Dick 4W 0302 N5YFC 559 LA Wayne 5W 0303 AA5TB 559 TX Steve 5W 0304 N5EBD 559 TX Ken 5W 0304 W0RW/PM 559 CO Paul 2W 0305 KD5KXF 559 TX Mike 5W 0311 K5OI 559 OK Tim 5W 0312 VA6RF 559 AB Earl 5W 0313 N5IB 559 LA Jim 5W 0315 VE6TN 559 AB Barry 5W 0319 W2MY 559 TX Steve 5W 0329 K6IA 559 CA Ward 5W 0357 AA7EQ 559 AR Bob 5W 0359 W0IS FOX MN Rick 0359 K3ESE FOX MD Lloyd __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Got an email saying all my yahoo groups were suspended for bounced mail, just checking? Fred VE3FAL http://www.qsl.net/ve3fal http://my.tbaytel.net/flesnick/LittleThunderQRPClub.htm

Trying to get up to date here. I'm in QFOX now and hope to not miss any more messages.

I'm posting this for Dave... Just a reminder that NK6A (Don) and I, N0IT (Dave in MO) will be your foxii tonight. The hunt will begin at 0200z on November 12 (8 pm Central Nov 11). You are likely to find us somewhere within plus or minus ten 10 khz of 7040. At the beginning of the hunt I will be listening up around 700 hz or higher and will be listening closer to my frequency as the pileup subsides. As usual the exchange is RST, State, Name, and Pwr. For more info see: http://www.cqc.org/fox/ I will be using Kenwood TS-940S at 5 watts into my trusty Butternut HF2V vertical. Even if conditions stink, come out and join the fun. HF can often be very unpredictable. See you tonight. 73 de Dave, N0IT __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

I will not be able to take part in the hunt tonight as I am at work. VE3XT is president of our local radio club, and it is meeting night tonight, so he might be on near the end of the hunt. I will look for you all next week when I am on dayshift. I am in the process of getting the rig and antennas set up on the truck, so I can take part in the hunts from work when I get time. Good Luck Fred VE3Fal Great Lakers Fox Hunt Team

I've been doing more operating this fall, getting back into QRP a little bit. Tonight I realized it was Thursday, Fox Hunt night! And I looked up the webpage on google to see what the schedule was. I fired up my CW Howes 40 mtr, direct conversion rig right at 0200. Soon I located Don NK6A near 7042. I listened closely, called many times, and was rewarded with a pelt! Alright! Now to find Dave. I wandered between 7030 and 7050 so many times I cannot remember. I tried it with other receivers, only to conclude that the Howes was actually doing a pretty good job. There just wasn't much to hear. Sometimes I would get little snippets, as if the whole world were talking but I was under a radio-blanket-cloud. I heard a YY1 calling CQ, and an XE1 came in gangbusters for a minute or two. I would get someone from 6-land or from 4-land for a little bit. Toward the end I could hear Don NK6A still calling CQ FOX, with no takers. At 0355, a ghostly signal arose in the neighborhood of 7035. hn3bvd ? I heard him send it a halfdozen times, getting a little piece each time. I looked in my country list in the back of my logbook. HN3 is Iraq? could it be? My pitiful 4 watts (on a good day) is not going to make it to Iraq. But I switched the T/R and sent my call a few times. When I switched back, he was gone. Nothing but static. Chris kc0atc

I moved my QRP rig from the workshop to my office/computer room and re-installed my antenna in the attic. Transmitter tunes into the antenna beautifully...near 1:1 SWR but I can't hear a thing! Did my receiver die or is the solar storm flattening 40m?? =Lou W8LI=

When can one expect the posting of the pelts for last Thursday? Carry on... KXBill

Hi Hounds, I will be one of the Foxii for this weeks hunt. I will be calling from my QTH located on Long Island just East of NY City. My frequency will be someplace between 7.030Mc to 7.050Mc If I am working split I will send up or dwn after my call. I will ask for fills if needed and then send TU dit dit at end of exchange. Rig: Ten-Tec Argo V Pwr: 5W Ant: Gound Mounted 4BTV or G5RV up 35ft with a (Heathkit HFT-9a Tuner) I do not use a memory keyer and all logging is done by hand (pencil and paper). Please be gentle as its my first time serving as a FOX and you never can tell what a Nervous FOX will do hi hi.
