[OFARC] More about the SETAC Foxhunt

[KG5IRR]

Members,

I’ve contacted Robert and he was kind enough to answer my questions.  See below.  Also, there’s been some concern about the distances associated with hunting grounds and whether there would be reasonable simplex propagation over these distances.  I’ve used some web tools to calculate the distances so we know what we’re up against.  See attached.

 

Best regards,

Barry KG5IRR

Robert,

I think I found the right guy…

I’ve been hearing a lot of interest from the OFARC club members regarding the upcoming foxhunt.  So much so that I composed this fact sheet to squelch some of the inquiries.  You may use the attachments to spread the word and further develop details.

73,

I’ve put together a flyer about the upcoming SETAC foxhunt, scheduled for Feb. 17th, 2018.

If you are interested in participating, we can discuss strategies and organize teams at our club meeting on Saturday.

Here’s some additional information that might spawn some ideas.
