Southern California's next ARDF session will be Saturday, April 21 at Lake Los Carneros Park in Goleta. In addition to the beginner-to-intermediate level ARDF course, there will be a workshop for building measuring-tape antennas and attenuators. Contact Marvin Johnston by e-mail (marvin@west.net) if you want to reserve a kit.
Kitbuilding and transmitter hunting start promptly at 9:30 AM. Hunters may start out on the courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 2:30 PM.
The site area is slightly less than 140 acres. It is relatively flat, making it a good site for foxtailers of all skill levels. If you need some one-on-one help to get started at finding transmitters, just ask. Full-color orienteering maps will be available.
Directions to Lake Los Carneros: 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 Stow House parking lot. There should be plenty of free parking. Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag. The building session and hunt start will be in the picnic area, just east of the railroad depot.
