[KYHAM] Fox hunt tonight in Fayette County...

[Pat Spencer, KD4PWL]

The monthly Bluegrass Amateur Radio Society Fox Hunt will be tonight at 
9:00 in Fayette County on 146.520.

This month's fox will be Sam Painter, KF4URQ, and his wife who has 
participated in several fox hunts and has dropped the gauntlet that he will 
not found.

The fox hunt is used as a training exercise to learn/sharpen radio 
direction finding skills.  Thus far, we are still learning, and the foxes 
are not being too devious, and are remaining in a fixed location.

This is the perfect opportunity for those interested in learning about fox 
hunting and want to practice.  You don't need a good deal of equipment to 
get started at this level.  Most of us use our mobile rig and an HT to 
attenuate the signal when we get close.  Those who are more accomplished at 
fox hunting are sure welcome to use whatever special equipment they may have.

The fox hunts are conducted with a lot of seriousness, and a lot of good 
humor.  Several spouses of hams are even participating because they enjoy 
the fun and fellowship.  The prize is if you catch the fox, you get to be 
the fox next month.  Playing the fox is a good deal of fun.

Everyone is most invited to come participate, so if you are in or near 
Lexington and have a little time this evening, please come join us.

Take care, 73,
Pat, KD4PWL
