[GCARC] Don't let Frank "outfox" us Sunday, 1pm! (hidden transmitter hunt)

[Frank Romeo]

Attention all fox hunters!  Tomorrow the fox will be hidden on the 
eastern side of Gloucester County, somewhere near Washington Township.  
The boundaries for this hunt are as follows:

Greentree Road as the northernmost boundary.
The Gloucester County line as the easternmost boundary.
Berlin - Cross Keys Road as the southernmost boundary.
Hurffville - Cross Keys Road as the westernmost boundary.

A map of the hunt area can be found at the following link:

As Jim mentioned, the fox will begin transmitting at 1:00 PM local.  We 
will take check-ins on the club's 147.180 repeater starting 
approximately 10 minutes earlier.

(Thanks for sending out the reminder, Jim!  Apologies for not getting 
these out sooner, I just got home from the clubhouse)

73 and best of luck to the hunters!
Frank N3PUU
