Aside from some minor technical difficulties (such as a dead battery), the T went on the air at about six o'clock.
The main transmitter was an HT running 1/2 watt into a 10dB attenuator and a 6 element quad in Crest, pointed at the start point. There were nice hills to either side, which helped to make it hard to hear the T when not in the signal path.
There was a secondary transmitter on 146.580 for those hunters who wanted to sniff. Johnna insisted on hiding the sniff T deep within a sufficiently prickly bush. (Sorry!)
Scoring was based on mileage. The hunt was short enough that the "Crenshaw" factor never came into play.
Here are the results:
PLACE | TEAM | MILEAGE | |
---|---|---|---|
First | N6JOJ and W6LKK | 10.8 | |
Second | KK6I, KN6IQ, and KD6RMG | 11.6 | |
Third | KF6AUW, WA6DNT, and Cameron | 16.0 | |
Fourth | KE6VCR, KE6PHB, WA6ZMZ, and KF6WZR | 21.3 | |
Fifth | N6WHK and Jim (KA6ZVX) | 27.0 | |
Sixth | KD6BP, KD6ASF, KM6RX, K1CHS | 29.7 |
There were two teams who did not show by the time the T was taken off the air.
The teams adjourned to the local Roundtable Pizza for dinner.
