Next ARDF near Santa Barbara January 6
by Marvin Johnston 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

This is the announcment that was posted to the Southern California ARDF listserver. Marvin ********* Lake Los Carneros Park in Goleta, CA will be the site of southern California's next international-style on-foot foxhunt on Saturday, January 6, 2007. A ham radio license and knowledge of radio equipment are not required. Bring the kids and grandkids, then go out on the course with them! There will be fox transmitters on 146.565 MHz FM with international-rules timing. The site area is slightly less than 140 acres. It is relatively flat, making it a good site for foxtailers of all skill levels. Full-color orienteering maps will be available. There is no charge for this event. The main 5-fox hunt begins at 10:30 AM. Hunters may start any time until 12:30 PM. Courses close at 2 PM. Bring any 2-meter RDF "sniffing" gear you have. If you don't have any, just bring your handi-talkie or scanner. If you don't have that, come anyway, because a limited number of RDF sets will be available for loan. Also be sure to bring anything you'll need while going after those radio foxes, such as munchies, bottled water and sunscreen. Bring your own compass, protractor and pencil if you plan to use them for map marking. Make sure that all batteries are fresh. Meet at the Stow House Parking Lot just off of Los Carneros Road. >From US 101 about 8 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara, take the Los Carneros Road exit, head north about 1/4 mile and turn right into the parking lot. There should be plenty of free parking. Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag. A map to get you to the site is at www.homingin.com 73, Joe Moell K0OV

ARDF Hunt at Lake Carnaros
by Marvin Johnston 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

Hi everyone, This is just a heads up. I talked with Joe Moell (K0OV) yesterday, and we will be putting on an ARDF type hunt at Lake Carnaros on Saturday morning, January 7, 2007. We will probably start direction finding and orienteering practice/training for newcomers about 9:30 and start the main hunt at 10:30AM. We will have a limited amount of DF gear to loan out. Participants will be provided an orienteering map, and there is no charge for this event. If you have (grand)kids that you think might enjoy this, you can bring them out and shadow them as they go out on the course to find the transmitters. More information will be available on the HomingIn website at http://www.hommingin.com/.

Christmas Gifts - Transmitter Hunting at WallMart
by Marvin Johnston 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

I just received this on the ARDF listserver from Dick Arnett (WB4SUV.) Dick has been transmitter hunting for a long time, and has been a member of the US ARDF team since 2000. This could be a great way to get kids interested in this type of activity! ********** FYI, WAL-MART has an ARDF type Care Bear. You hide the bear and the receiver tells you if you are getting hot or cold hunting it. Watch the video demo http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4990272 **********
