       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 
found at;
