Hi Everyone
Message from the Silver Fox, A new search begins one again.
Starting Friday April 25 until the battery dies, around 5 days.
You will be able to park nearby then a small hike so you will need a portable radio for the hunt.
Yes I'm in the west end of town.
Take a your gear along if your heading into town, frequency is 146.565 Mhz
The Fox will transmit CW messages then wait for 60 seconds until the next CW cycle.
The Fox wakes up at dawn and sleeps at dusk.
Get your Compass, maps and direction finder antenna and start searching?
Rules:
1) Take your time; the transmitter will be out doing its thing until the battery fails.
2) Bring a friend; learning together can be fun.
3) Use the Internet to review Fox Hunting tricks that you can add to your toolbox.
4) Be safe when you’re out there searching, respect Mother Nature and personal property.
5) Best Rule of all, make it fun.
Once you found the Fox, what you’re looking for is a Plastic Army amo box - the transmitter, do not disturb the actual transmitter or bring attention to its hiding nest, others on the hunt would appreciate it and hopefully not go missing.
Take a selfie or let me know where you found it. Additional information about your hunt would be appreciated, what equipment you used, where did you start, how long it took you, who were you with. Email details to ve3bqm@gmail.com
Happy hunting.
Once you found the Silver Fox, Send me an email ve3bqm@gmail.com with details.
Good luck
