Tally Ho! To the hunt!
For those interested in fox hunting, join us at
the annual NARC picnic. The hunt will start
at noon and continue until someone finds
my HT (or until everyone gives up and goes
home). This will be a walking hunt. For
those of you unfamiliar with fox-hunts, they
are hidden transmitter searches. This is the
perfect way hone your Direction Finding
skills. If you have no prior DF experience,
check http://members.aol.com/homingin.
That’s Joe Moell, K0OV’s Radio Direction
Finding Home page. It will lead to all sorts
of useful online references. Or get
“Transmitter Hunting, Radio Direction
Finding Simplified” by Joe Moell, K0OV
and Thomas Curlee, WB6UUZ. You can
get it mail order from the ARRL or pick it
up Ham Radio Outlet. There is also a new
chapter on RDF in the latest ARRL
Handbook. Or you can ask one of our
resident experts on the 147.045/224.28
repeater. My HT will be hidden somewhere
along Ridge Road and will be on a 2M
frequency. After the hunt we will have our
annual picnic at the Ridge Road Field Day
site. Some left over hot dogs and hamburgs
from field day will be available, however,
please bring a pot luck dish as well for all to
share. The event is scheduled for Saturday
September 13th, 12 Noon, rain date Sunday.
