Wow, what a transmitter hunt. Eleven out of eleven teams finished, with seven of them in first place. What an ending to a tremendously fun hunt and under one hour. As you can see from my GPS track, I made a few (mileage) costly mistakes. I didn't do to bad time wise but, only mileage counts in this game.
overall GPS track	location of Fox-1
		The Garmin StreetPilot-III can plot the shortest distance between points (as you can see on one of the maps). If only I knew where the transmitter was hidden to begin with, I could have been a winner too.
location of Fox-2	shortest route if done properly	Eleven teams gathered at the Fremont Start Point, taking initial bearings to both foxes. My bearing to the first fox was 325* and the second fox 345*. Actual bearing were 321* to the first and 345* to the second fox.

20020601_164024.jpg	20020601_164059.jpg	EQUIPMENT I USED: 1) SuperDF | TDOA: To obtain my initial bearing. 2) AHHA MicroFinder Doppler: Using "Digital and Standard Filtering". Worked really well on both. 3) Garmin StreetPilot-III: With street level GPS mapping. 4) Small (8-1/2 x 11) laminated map of Fremont, compass, protractor and felt-tip pen. 5) Icom IC-R3, U-R-Here radio. An invaluable receiver for direction finding. With it's graphic (historical) display of the fox transmitters signal strength and it's 4 built-in attenuators, I was able to drive, quite secure in knowledge I was getting closer to the fox. When my IC-R3 was dialed to attenuation #4, I knew I was within walking distance of the transmitter. 6) Mobile radio, Standard C5900DA. I use this tri-bander to listen to both fox frequencies and listen in on the talk-in communications channel.

20020601_171312.jpg		CONCLUSION: 1) Map of the area your hunting. 2) Initial bearing to all foxes. 3) Listen, at all times, to all the Fox Frequencies. 4) Icom IC-R3, as a U-R-Here radio is priceless.
20020601_175127.jpg	20020601_175128.jpg	The first fox pretty low to the ground and only transmitting 3-watts. Making it difficult to hear from the start point. One nice thing about the AHHA MicroFinder, this Doppler was pointing towards the fox before I could hear it on my mobile radio.
