Hi all,

This was posted earlier so this is just a reminder. If you are planning on attending the Hamburger BBQ afterwards, please let Dave or myself know.

Also Bob Frey, WB6EZV, will be coming through town tomorrow about early afternoon. Since he is coming down from the North, I told him I would be monitoring 147.000 as the coverage is a bit better than K6TZ. If you should hear him, be sure to say hi!

********************

The Beginner's T-Hunt will be starting two hours earlier this month. Starting time will be at 1:00PM on Saturday, April 14, out at the Stow House Parking lot. Registration will open up at 12:30PM and a practice transmitter will go on the air sometime around noon.

There will be five 2M transmitters on a course that will probably be around two miles. There will also be at least one 80M transmitter for those who would like to try hunting on 80M.

The rules will be simple: 2 hour time limit, and multiple people can go together as long as they stay together and only use one DF receiver.

A hamburger BBQ will follow the event rather than the usual pizza at Rusty's. The cost for the BBQ will be $3.50 per person and will be all-you-can-eat-til-its-gone :)! If you are planning on attending, it would be appreciated if you would let Dave Jacobs (969-9235) K9KBX or myself (687-8881) know. Dave does not currently have Internet access but I can be reached at either marvin@rain.org or ke6hts@sbarc.org. We are planning on enough food for about 15 - 20 people as of right now.

I've also gotten word that at least three other members of the US ARDF team who competed in China will be attending; Bob Frey, and Richard and Jay Thompson. Jay was recently written up on the ARRL Members Only web page at http://www.arrl.org/members-only/extra/features/2001/04/02/1/. We will also have many of the people from So. California attending who will be competing at the US ARDF Championships in Albuquerque July 31 - August 4.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to have some fun as well as meet some people who are front runners in helping to publicize ARDF to the US.
