Let me try again .... Pretty bleak from the west coast but about what I expected. Worked 3 and heard three others.

Asked him to QRP to 5w and he did. I explained what the "FOX" was all about and he said he'd check it out so maybe he will join us on 20 this summer. 72, Brian, K0DTJ

40M wasn't too bad here in Middle TN for the first 45-ish minutes, then seemed to dry up. I moved to 80M - not much there, back to 40M and called it done at the top of the hour.

Here is my log for last night's Fox Extravaganza. Thanks for all QSOs. I heard N8SS and NO2D working others on 40M, but never heard them call CQ or answer my CQs. From the logs, it seems that I should have tried 80M earlier than I did. I thought the best strategy was to work 40M hte first half and 80M the last half, but it appears that by the time I was calling on 80M, most hunters had given up on that band. Please look for me and KU8E operating as W4AN/M in the FLorida QSO Party this weekend. 73/72, John, K4BAI. 7041 0106 KB5FCF 569 OK JOEL 4W 7041 0106 K9CW 599 IL DREW 5W 7041 0108 KG5UK 559 OK BRAD 5W 7041 0108 K2TW 599 VA TOM 5W 7041 0112 WA4ZOF 599 GA TOM 5W 7041 0113 KO4VW 559 GA STEVE 5W 7043 0116 W4CMG 599 TN CATHY 5W 7043 0118 W2SH 559 NJ CHAS 5W 7045 0122 KR0U 339 CO TIM 5W 7038 0125 K4PQC 559 GA PHIL 5W 7038 0126 NK9G 559 WI RICK 5W 7039 0127 N2TNN 559 VA DEAN 5W 7039 0127 N9FZ 599 GA CAINAN 5W 7039 0131 K2ZN 559 NY AL 5W 7030 0148 N8HWV 339 WI NATE 5W 3559 0153 K4PQC 599 GA PHIL 5W 3559 0153 K2TW 579 VA TOM 5W 7043 0220 AK3X 559 MD PETER 5W N8HWV was just regular CQing, but he was QRP and has been a Fox Hunter in the past.

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.

I alternated CQs on 80m in my left ear and 40m on my right. I heard no answers on 80m. At least with QRP there was no trace of interstation interference at all even though I'm using the same vertical simultaneously for both bands.

I had a high noise level tonight, with thunderstorms rolling just a few counties to the east. Between the QRN and a late sunset, 80M operations was off the table tonight. I managed to get 15 calls in the log before calling it quits after the first hour.

Pretty bleak from the west coast but about what I expected. Worked 3 stations and heard 3 others who I couldn't reach. The log: 0104

I'm sure I missed some.... I have been plagued with powerline noise especially with wet weather. Tonight was no exception. The noise floor on 40 and 80 swung between S-4 and S-5. So, if you were above the noise floor or if I could read your call you got an honest S-5. The only exception is if you were in my backyard. If I didn't get a reply after calling CQ a few times I switched bands so the log combined. The log is both running and S&P, Lots of fun even with the noise.

I am on the road, and plan to participate on the 40m band, using RemoteHams. There is a bit of a delay (as my keystrokes traverse the internet to the W4NC K3 in Winston-Salem, and back). So if/when you hear me, please give me a little more "room" before jumping in. I do not have 80m capability... Good luck to all! -- a^2 + b^2 = c^2 x^2 + y^2 = r^2 e^iPi + 0^2 = i^2

This is my preliminary log for hunt #39 4/8/25. If you have any issues please let me know. Thanks for all the help in spreading out. With QSB and my noise floor wondering from S-3 upward If I could make out your call you were definitely an S-5. Just after 0200z the band started going long and signals started going south.... There are a couple of duplicates and both sent the same report... not sure what happened, usually it is a drop in power levels or the posting wasn't sent. 72 and thanks for your help.

Hello all, Tonight is the last 40m hunt of the year. I will be one of the foxii along with Phil K4PQC. I will be using my Kenwood TS-590SG at 5W into a OCF dipole. I will switch to the EFLW but the one end is only a few feet off the ground. I will listen up 1. Good luck to all. 72, Marty NR3Z Skitch@... NR3Z@...

The last hunt for the 24-25 winter season is tonight. in the 40 acre woods. We're looking for FOXii for the 20 acre season, that will start in a few weeks. Come check out the last 40 acre hunt at 7PM mt, tonight. or 0100z 4-9-2024. maybe you would like to be a FOX? Check out the rules and guidelines on QRPFOXHUNT.ORG

To all dawgs, Here is the drill as I understand it; I will be one of the two foxes for the last hunt of the 2024 - 2025 winter season along with Marty - NR3Z in PA. I am located on a small horse farm in N. GA about 12 miles south of UGA campus... home of the dawgs. I will be operating somewhere between 7030 and 7050 KHz, 0100z and 0229z. Most of the time I will be calling: " CQ FOX K4PQC UP" I will be listening UP between 1 and 2 KHz. My exchange will be your call, your RST, GA, Phil & 5W and your call again. When I hear and copy your exchange and post it to the Fritz map, I will send your call again and either UP or CQ... If, by chance, I copy several calls I will send all the calls, then my exchange ONCE and then each of the calls, one at a time. Please spread out as I will be looking for hounds in the clear underbrush. If I don;t call UP please don;t zero beat my calling frequency. This also goes for times that I DO CALL UP, I will also be listening to my calling frequency with another receiver and if I hear any stations calling me I will be the one sending UP. I hope it is clear that I will NOT answer ANY calls on my frequency! As I have been plagued with local power line noise (PLN) I may have some difficulty, especially working weak stations, so, please be patient with this fox. 72 and good luck and hope you get your pelt. Phil - K4PQC Bishop, GA

It started out great for the first 15 minutes and the the MR, QSB started to play games.I think I got them all right and I appreciate all the call sign repeats. Last call was about 10 after 10 and I moved down near my call frequency 3.557 and nothing. The 80 meter band has not been friendly lately.
