On the second meeting night in May, JCRAC held a foxhunt. In a foxhunt, competitors search for a hidden transmitter. Acting as the fox was Jack Sippel, KU0KU. Jack began randomly transmitting on a 2-meter simplex frequency after "hiding" himself on public property "someplace in Johnson County." The first team "caught" the fox in about 25 minutes.
