There will be a Foxhunt contest to find payload in the least mileage without using any APRS with 2 categories. 1st individual fox-hunters, 2nd group foxhunting. No fee to enter but must be at the start. Married couples in the same vehicle will get to choose to be in either group.... So Bring the XYL. Winners by least mileage in each category will win a gift card. If 2 fox-hunters in a category are less then 1.5 miles difference first to find wins.
Sincerely,
Carlton
