Fox Hunt Details
Saturday October 14th at 2:00pm?
Fox will be hidden inside the city limits of West Plains.
It will be transmitting on 145.300mhz. As demonstrated at the meeting Tuesday night, the audio tone will transmit for approximately 15 seconds, followed by our club call sign identifier. After approximately 45 seconds of silence, the transmitter will start again. So around 15 seconds of transmitting every minute. It doesn’t sound like much, but lasts longer than you might expect.
Check-in with Sierena (KF0LQB) on the 444.425+ (110.9) repeater sometime prior to the 2:00pm start time so we have an idea of how many hunters are participating. Sierena is our “Hunt Master” for this hunt and will announce on the repeater when she has activated the fox. Start the hunt from wherever you want once the announcement has been made. Sierena will be within a close proximity of the fox, so she’ll know when it’s been located. Once the fox has been located, try not to give away its location so that others can continue the search. We can coordinate via radio on the repeater channel, but we might meet up once you’re done hunting at Galloway Park. This will allow me to gloat as the 1st place hunter, and give you an opportunity to congratulate me! A small gift card to the spring dipper will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

This event should be fun and the weather should be great! If you know someone that is unlicensed or might enjoy participating… maybe a child or grandchild… load them up and get them involved!! It might be a great opportunity to raise up some more hams!!

Looking forward to a great day!
