The first amateur that finds the Fox must
 retrieve the prize voucher only that will be attached to the fox. Please leave the fox transmitter in place for others to find.  The voucher must be presented to KB3WFV in order to receive a $50.00 cash prize..

Only a hand held transceiver and a hand held direction or omni antenna are permitted to be used to locate the Fox.

NO
 additional electronic assistance is allowed. This includes, but not 
limited to, antennas using active electronics such as time direction of 
arrival "handy-finders" and  Doppler direction finding systems.  Real-time electronic maps on computers or smart phones, including computer-assisted plotting
 are also prohibited.  This will be a "paper maps and compass" foxhunt.  GPS for vehicle navigational purposes only is OK.
The
 magnetic declination in our area is 11 degrees West.  This means you 
need to SUBTRACT 11 degrees from your compass bearing to get a bearing 
referenced to true north for plotting on a map that is referenced to 
true rather than magnetic north.
Mechanical or passive electronic methods such as resistive attenuators for attenuating the RX signal are permitted.

Participants must obey all local laws including but not limited to traffic laws and respect private and public property.
SAFETY FIRST.
  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND A BEARING WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

All decisions of the Fox Hunt Committee are final.  

Thank you in advance for participating in the CARA Fox Hunt.
