There's lots of great on-foot foxhunting action coming up in the next few months. It starts next Sunday (April 27) with a challenging event in Joe Grant Park, east of San Jose. World Championships competitors Bob Cooley KF6VSE and Marvin Johnston KE6HTS are putting it on, and they're expecting participation from both northern and southern California radio-orienteers. The details, plus a map and directions, are available by pointing your browser to www.homingin.com
Then on May 10-11, it's the CQ Magazine National Foxhunting Weekend. We'll be joining clubs around the country by having a free on-foot hunt in Tri-City Park on Saturday, May 10. It's part of the almost-annual Antennas In The Park picnic and operating event, sponosored by Fullerton Radio Club and Western Amateur Radio Association. Mark your calendar and watch for more details as the date approaches.
In June (exact date to be announced), we'll have a challenging southern California radio-orienteering event in a big park for both beginners and experts, as hams across the country train for the USA ARDF Championships in Cincinnati from July 31 through August 3. Read more about the championships at www.ardfusa.com
Then in September, it's the annual ARRL Southwestern Division convention, which can always be counted on to provide transmitter-hunting-for-dollars opportunities. This year it's September 5-7, with a mobile T-hunt on Friday night, hunts on the convention grounds on Saturday, and a big in-the-park hunt on Sunday afternoon. We're hoping for a generous prize pool to entice you to join in.
Make this your year to discover the fun of hidden transmitter hunting. I hope to see you at an event soon.
