Ron Russell is putting together another Foxhunt for us. If you've never tried this before, this will be a great one to get started on. More info from Ron....
"The area will be the oval area formed by I-40 & I-640. Fox will transmit for 30 seconds then off for 1 minute. All interested should meet @ 9:30ish Shoney's parking lot Western Ave to instruct newbies on how it all works.
Voice will be on 147.300. THE FOX WILL BE ON 146.565 MHz. Fox will start @ 10am. Fox will stop @ 12 noon. Then back to Shoney's on Western for Eatin' Meetin'.. Pass it on to all you know and all nets you check in to"
This is a great opportunity to get kids or other non hams interested, it's a blast!

The date of the hunt is July 26th. This one is geared more toward the beginning DF'er with a longer transmit time of 30 seconds (it's usually much shorter!). The longer time doesn't necessarily make is easier, but it does give the novice time to hone their skills.
This easy to build inexpensive tape measure beam has come in first place more than once!!
