[FoxHunt] Fox Hunt Sunday, 3/22/2009, Terre Haute, IN

[Jim, WD9EYB]

The next EOHC fox hunt will be Sunday, March 22nd, 2:00 PM
to 4:00 PM.  The fox will be Dan, W9OOT.  This will be a
combined mobile/foot hunt.  Dan will be hiding somewhere in
or near Terre Haute, Indiana, but he will not necessarily be in
his jeep.  You have to find Dan, not his jeep, to complete the hunt.

He'll use one of the KT9E fox boxes which will transmit on
147.45 MHz for 1 minute out of every 5 minutes.  Modulation
will MCW, which you can copy with an FM receiver.  The
message will be MOS MOS MOS MOS MOS MOS MOS 
MOS DE KT9E or similar.

We've talked about using a second transmitter in Dan's jeep
connected to the jeep antenna to give better range.  That
will make it easier to find his jeep than it will to find him.
However, you must find Dan to complete the hunt.  The
second transmitter might not be used.

Start from anywere but a good place to start fox hunts in
Terre Haute is at Meadows Elementary School, 
55 S Brown Ave.  That's behind Rural King.  It's a good
place to start because there's a big open field and the
lack of light standards and overhead wires cuts down on
multipath reflections.  I will be starting from there.
Hopefully Dan will be not to far away.

Everybody that finds the fox wins.  The prize is bragging rights.

Talk-in and coordinate on the W9EQD repeater 
147.15 MHz (151.4 Hz).  Let us know that you're hunting.
