A REPORT OF THE JULY FOX HUNT

  

A Report from

Sarah Cornish Fox Hunt Chairperson

            The July fox hunt was held on July 20th. I was the fox (AD9FA) I had (N9WVD) with me. We had three hounds. The first to find me was Scott - KD9LHY who will be the fox on August 17th. He will be using a HT as the Fox so hounds may need to drive around to hear the signal. The next to find me was N8HWV. Both Kd9lhy and N8hwv had kids with them enjoying the hunt and both found me with only an HT to track.  (Next generations hams). And the last to find me was AB9QC. No one knew he was hunting and he managed to find me after I closed the hunt and stopped transmitting.  

      I was both impressed and disappointed that I stopped the hunt              while  someone was still hunting. I did call out and ask for all hunters      to check in with me so I know that they were out there but never got      a response from AB9QC. They had a directional antenna and an HT          but said in the end they found me using an HT. 

      (Editor Note:: I thank Sarah for the report and as you see, this monthly event is a fun event. Other chairpersons are welcome to submit an event report for this site. August 17th is the next scheduled Hunt... )
