Starting times will be 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM at 5 minute intervals. If you start at 1:30 you will have until 3:00 to complete the course. NO REGISTRATION FEES! There will be 5 hidden T’s using the MOE-MOI-MOS-MOH-MO5 format.

Antennas will all be vertically polarized with approximately the same radiated power from each “T”.

We will have limited equipment to loan for those that do not have small 2-M beams. Bring a connector to go from your HT antenna connector to a BNC cable (Chinese HT’s not recommended). There will be experienced Hams present to demonstrate techniques for those that want to learn about “On-Foot” Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ADRF) and some “Practice T’s” to experiment with before you start the course. You do not need a Ham Radio License to participate!
You will be issued a map of the area with major features delineated. A compass, clipboard and pencil may be handy to plot bearings with. Dress appropriately and plan on taking water with you while hunting.
A BBQ is planned for about 2:30 PM for those interested. We will have burgers & hot dogs, buns, condiments, potato salad, drinks, chips & salsa. BBQ donations can be made on site. If you are staying for BBQ you might want to bring a folding chair.
