The annual USA Championships of Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) will 
take place in forests near Albuquerque, New Mexico from September 14-18, 
2011.   USA's national championships are being combined with the championships 
of International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 2 (North and South 
America.)   They are open to anyone of any age who can safely navigate in the 
woods with hand-held radio gear for several kilometers.   Medals will be 
awarded for the top three finishers on each band in ten age categories, six for 
males and four for females.   A two-day training camp will precede the formal 
competitions.

Organizers of the 2011 championships are members of the Albuquerque Amateur 
Radio Club (AARC) and the New Mexico Orienteers (NMO), led by Jerry Boyd, 
WB8WFK and Mike Pendley, K5ATM.   Registration is now open and it is 
important for competitors to register early.   The organizers need an accurate head 
count and assurances that there will be sufficient attendees.   Read more at
