THE DAY OF THE FOX HUNT
The Fox Hunt was held at the beautiful home and grounds of Pat Fitzgerald (kv0k).
Bob Ludtke (k9mwm) kicked things off with a demo of his receiver.
Lyle Troth (k0iv) followed Bob with a demo of his receiver.
Although Bob Cutter's (ki0g) receiver may have been made from a tape measure, it has a very special "anti-arm fatigue" feature, as Bob was only too happy to demo.
Bob then explained the rules of the Fox Hunt. The "fox" was a small transmitter hidden inside a 35mm film canister. It broadcasted a signal on 146.565 for 15 seconds evey minute.
John, Teresa and Missy listened avidly (well, maybe not Missy).
As did the crowd on the porch.
Everyone was thinking about their stragety.
You could practically see the wheels turning!
READY . . . SET . . . GO! AND THE FOX HUNT WAS ON!
They hunted in fields . . .
. . . and on rocky terrain.
They peeked under logs.
They used big pieces of equipment . . .
. . . and small.
They consulted with spouses . .
. . . and with friends.
They searched in little trees . . .
. . . and in big ones.
They checked along the road.
Even the k6pup's helped out!
SO WHERE WAS IT HIDDEN??
Under a rock by a pine tree near the side of the road (see the white arrow?)
AND WHO FOUND IT?
Chris Fortensky (kc0ocv) and Buster Brown (was there kibble in the cup?) found it first.
Liam Kelly (kd0hdf) found it second.
WHO WON THE PRIZE?
LIAM WON! Due to an age-related score adjustment (announced at the start of the contest), Liam had the best time and won a portable beam antenna made by Bob Cutter.
CONGRATULATIONS KD0HDF! Bob Cutter (L) Liam Kelley (M) Bob Ludtke (R)
