Fox Hunt and the Fox Won
Fox Hunt and the Fox Won
Club members gathered for a fox hunt this past Saturday and the fox, Ron N5YDX proved to be particularly dastardly this hunt. He announced he was playing the bad ham interfering with comms and then proceeded to randomly switch off the transmitter and operate 5khz off the fox frequency. Needless to say no one found the fox within the 90 minute time limit. Here is a photo of the fox and victims... I mean participants. Dan Winstead KJ5KWT (not pictured) also participated in Saturday's hunt.
