Dori K3TES and I will be hosting the next PAARC foxhunt on July 28th at 10:00 am starting from the Pottsgrove Middle School, 1351 N. Hanover St. Hope to see the usual gang plus some new hunters! – Al, AG3T
(See the Fox Hunt web page for more info on transmitter hunts.)
Event cancelled due to bad weather.
Meet at 1:00 pm at the Reading Pagoda (98 Duryea Dr, Reading, PA) parking lot. Hunters will point their antennas toward the direction which gives the strongest signal and then drive toward that location. Upon finding the hidden transmitter, the hunters will discover multiple low power signals from other foxes waiting to be discovered. Ron K3RJW will provide the frequency of the fox(es).
Our next PAARC fox hunt (transmitter hunt) will be Saturday, 6/16/18 at 10 AM. We’ll begin at the Pottsgrove Middle School on 1351 N. Hanover
St., Pottstown, PA 19464, N 40 deg., 16.27 min, W 75 deg. 38.15 min. Jim, K3CHJ will be the fox. Learn more on our fox hunting page: www.paarc.net/fox-hunting/
