Fox Hunt! ~ Saturday, April 27, 2024

We’ve done this in the past, now put April  27, 2024  on your calendar.

A “Tune-Up In the Park” Fox Hunting exercise will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024.  Whether you are just beginning to be interested in fox hunting or you are a seasoned veteran, plan on being at Douglas Walker Park from 9 am to 12 noon.  There will be at least five micro-transmitters hidden in the park for you to take your time locating, practicing your skills, and debugging your equipment.  At noon, the park activity will stop, and a live “fox” will go on the air, located within eight miles of the start.  The hunt will end at 2pm.

There will be experienced fox hunters to help with your equipment and techniques.  If you have a fox box or a micro/mini fox and would like to bring it to the park to be used, please contact the event coordinator, Tom Bosscher, K8TB at k8tb@arrl.net.  Douglas Walker Park is on 84th Street, 1.5 miles west of US-131 exit 74, Byron Center.

Please note that the park grounds can be very wet from the spring rains and rather sloppy.  Use appropriate footwear accordingly.  Talk-in and information regarding uncertain weather conditions will be held at 147.16 on the IRA repeater.
