> A Post-Field Day reminder, that the Holland Club will be having a
> hidden transmitter hunt on Tuesday, June 26.
>
> The hidden transmitter operator will be ACE DF'r himself, Laryn.
>
> Laryn's first keyup will be at 7:00:00PM, and we will start from the club
> house located on East 8th Avenue, right nest to the Holland chamber of
> Commerce.
> I would advise that we should be there at least 15 to 20 minutes
> ahead of time to untangle cables, try to remember how to operate the
> equipment, and lie to each other.
>
> It was mentioned that there should be some rules.
>
> This is Beta Version 0.51b
>
> The hidden transmitter will be within 6.28 miles of the tech center
> The hidden transmitter will key up for 30 seconds every 3 minutes.
> Huntee, please have a digital watch or timer.
> The hidden transmitter signal must be readable from the tech center.
> The hidden transmitter cannot transmit with more than 250 watts ERP.
> The power level and antenna gain and pattern direction will stay
> stable during the hunt.
> The hidden transmitter must be on publicly accessible land, hunters
> will not have to trespass or ask permission or have to pay to gain access.
> Private parking lots are OK, as long as there are no "No Trespassing"
> signs.
> For now, the hidden transmitter, the fox and the antenna must be in/on a
> car.
> As the hidden transmitter is found, the huntee will acknowledge
> them in person, and not on the air, log their time and mileage. Once
> this is done, the hunters should
> leave, so as to not draw undue attention.
> For now, we will award two winners, one for who drove the fewest
> numbers of miles, and one for who found the fox first.
> The next hidden transmitter will be one of the two winners, to be
> determined by the HARC Hidden Transmitter Hunt Committee.
> This offer not valid in Wisconsin.
>
> As the unofficial committee of one for the Hidden Transmitter Hunt,
> I am very open to changes in the rules. We just have to know what they
> are before the hunt.
>
> If you do not have equipment for the hunt, please show up and those with
> equipment can always make room in their cars for more "guessers"!
>
> Laryn, please measure the distance from the club house to your hidden
site.
>
> See you the Tuesday the 26th!
