[Elecraft] Foxtravaganza Summer 2007

[Larry Makoski]

To all QRP Fox hunters:

It has been past practice to end a Fox Hunt season with a little 
excersize that we like to call a "Foxtravaganza".  A blow out where ALL 
the Foxes, alternates and Fox Hunt Committee members get on the air at 
the same time to see how many pelts  can be given out.  It's also a last 
ditch effort to put off the post season "blues" for one more week for 
those of us who go into post-Fox Hunt season depression!

So ....... you are all invited to come out and play for one more 
Thursday night - next Thursday night, September 20th.  The Foxtravaganza 
will be held during the regular Foxhunt time, 0100-0230 UTC 
(technically, that's Friday morning UTC time!).  Set your radio anywhere 
between 14.050 and 14.070 and start listening for stations calling "CQ 
FOX" and start chasing those pelts!  And hey, since there's a lot of us 
- don't feel that you have to be constrained by the 050 - 070 frequency 
range.  It won't hurt to spread things out a bit!

On Tuesday and Wednesday the Foxes should start making announcements to 
declare whether or not they will be participating.  If EVERYONE 
participates, here's a roll call of stations you can expect to hear:

N1FN
WC7S
AA4N
K4BAI
W5KDJ
KV2X
NK6A
K3ESE
N1IX
N0IT
K5GQ
KZ5J
K4OSO
KC2EGL
K0FRP
KE0N
K0EVZ
N9AW
N9NE
VE5RC
and yours truly, W2LJ

There won't be any scorekeeping; but feel free to post your soapbox 
comments to QFOX afterwards, should you so desire. As always, full 
details can be found at:  http://www.qrpfoxhunt.org/

Hope to hear you all on the air next Thursday night.  The Foxtravaganza 
will coincide nicely with the official end of Summer 2007.  And once 
again, THANK YOU all so much for making this past Summer season a 
bonafide success!
