Judging from the emails I can see that many are preparing to
participate this year in the famous Friday evening MRCA 75 meter 3.885
transmitter hunt. This will take place approx 3 hours before the SLS
event. This year there will be two DF events, one for WWII, Korean War
DF equipment, i.e. BC-611, DAV-2 etc.
Those that do not have the original antennas such as a AN-190 may use a
home brew antenna as long as the radio equipment is older vacuum tube
construction.
The second event will be for Modern Radios that do not have vacuum tubes.
A practice session will take place before it get dark for the
participants to tune and peak etc.
Justin will not be allowed to hide the transmitter.
I've updated a lot of info on the AN-190 antenna and it can be found at:

I've also designed a simple loop stick antenna (30 minute project) that
can be used and info can be found at:

Those that do not have a BC-1397 coupler for their BC-611 info can be
