Robert
provided a summary of the T-Hunt activities at Camp Balboa
Jambore On The Air. Here is the HAMTASTIC side of the Group's
activities. See attached photos.
We arrived on
Fiesta Island around 7:15 - 7:30 and it was warm, around 80,
with 10-15 MPH gusts so we enlisted some help from one of the
Sandra guys, Ed ,WA6YVX, and an innocent bystander, Glenn, to
get the canopy set up. We carefully positioned the corners of
the tie downs for the prevailing east Santa Ana winds. We got
the tables, chairs, sniffers, micro's and the donuts out and
settled in waiting for folks to start meandering around. We
saw quite a few people we knew throughout the day with several
of the T-Hunt Group, although some not too active
recently, stopping by to say Hello and grab a donut! I
think we had more activity this year with several groups of
Boy Scouts wanting to find all three hidden T's, 144.100,
146.565 &147.585. They had planned a canoe outing but due
to poor water quality came over to our event. Thomas, NE6TT, a
recent addition to the group, and his three year old son came
by and took time to find a hidden T in the back of Ed's
Explorer. We had one young man with his mother that was
interested in getting his Ham license so he could talk to his
Grandfather in Arizona who was really excited when he located
one of the hidden T's. Several other assorted people also
tried their luck but with all the activity did not get call
signs! And, the last victim of the day, Rodel, W6KNG, who
knows Jason, KB3ERS, actually came out for the Mobile T-Hunt
later that afternoon and rode with Tim, AJ6XP. Tim gave him
lots of instruction on sniffing once we got to the main T.
See photos of Saturday's Hunt by K6VCR and KI6RXX when Greg,
Ki6RXX posts the results? About noon the Santa Ana winds died
down and the wind came up from the west so we had to change
our tie downs around to keep the canopy down. The following
former and current T-Hunters were observed at some point
during the day. It was a long day so sorry if we missed
anyone. GARRY, NA6NA, THOMAS, NE6TT, BILL, W6ZM, ROBIN,
KM6OUL, MAX, K9DOG, DENNIS,
KD6TUJ, TOM, K6VCR, BRUCE, AG6X, & Jerry, W6KIN. It
appeared that everyone had a good time!
