In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: They'll provide you with the number and you put it in the section report area. You give them 59 CT. Hopefully you're using a contest logging program like N1MM (not my fav) or N3FJP. It's easier to track your score and submit it too. Then once that is done, I export from N3FJP and import into my regular log )DX Keeper for me). Very often a regular log can not keep up. Then there is the matter of scoring. A regular log can't so you have to manually. Where as a contest logger does all that for you. Easy Peasy.

This hunt will be conducted in the same manner that we have previously conducted live foxhunts. The hunters will assemble at the 91 Ayers Road in South Windsor, CT, home of the old Wapping Elementary School, be set up and ready to start by 1pm. The fox will take a roll call at 1pm on the BEARS repeater, 145.110 MHz, PL tone is 77.0 Hz. This hunt will be conducted using the repeater for all communication and information sharing. I encourage communication between participants and any base stations that can supply helpful information to the hunters. Once you have spotted the fox you should stop all transmissions. Pay attention, if someone says they are going to check an area and you never hear from them again, that might be a clue. Remember not to hunt the repeater output frequency as that will just lead you to the repeater. I will not be there. You will want to listen on the repeater input frequency, 144.510MHz. That is the frequency the fox will be transmitting on. The fox will be located within 20 air miles of the starting point and not within Hartford or Springfield. The fox will be on publicly accessible property that will not require anything other that a standard passenger car for access. The fox will host a "tailgate" party at the end of the hunt at the "den". *This year all food and drinks will be prepackaged*. *Don't forget your mask.* If this is your first hunt, I would recommend riding along with someone who has done this before. Dress warmly as you will be outside at the end for the party, the rest of the time you will be in and out of the car taking bearings etc. Experience has shown that hunters will start arriving in the den about 1 hour after the start. The event has a two hour time limit not including socializing in the den at the end. Current information regarding this and other foxhunts in Connecticut are on Yahoo. If you are not already a group member, you may want to consider signing up for the Yahoo group CTFOXHUNTER so that you do not miss any important foxhunt related news. 73, Paul, N1TUP
