163841 (Ron-N7TVE)	163911 (Chris-KF6VFU)	Saturday, February 2, 2002, 5:00 PM, Fremont, California. Ten (10) teams participated in Ron-N7TVE's hunt of three transmitters. Mileage to the Hard transmitter counted to win. 1) First and Hard transmitter, 146.490 MHz. 2) Second and Easy transmitter, 146.415 MHz. 3) Last, an intermittent Jammer hunt, 147.540 MHz. Initial bearings to the first two transmitters were full of reflections and very difficult to read. Using my Arrow 4-element beam, I was able to eliminate all weaker directions and read the strongest signal within 45* of the proper direction. My bearing to the Hard fox wasn't too bad.

Track to the Easy Fox.	Track to the Jammer.	I changed  my AHHA Doppler's Filter parameters again, using a 'QFIL' of, 2 / 9 / 9. This seemed to work better than my previous setting of, 2 / 10 / 10. The new setting was definitely more responsive and didn't seem to affect the accuracy much. The responsiveness hunting the Jammer transmitter was a little on the slow side, I would recommend not using the filter but, just the raw, non-filtered mode. Rich-KN6FW is currently working on a better FILTER algorithm for the AHHA Microfinder. Since the Microfinder is software (ROM) updateable, I'll be very interested in upgrading.

165343	165526	Once off the Start Point Hill, my Doppler continued to point in a good direction towards the Hard Fox. Thanks to the QFIL Filter, the Doppler only pointed in the correct direction. I was directed to turn left on Warm Springs Blvd, drive South and then turn left again onto Scott Creek Rd. What a dream this Doppler has become. I was originally going to drive South on 880 towards Hwy-237 (because of some other hunter's initial bearings) but, the Doppler insisted I should turn left on Warm Springs Blvd. and follow the pointer. I ended up driving straight (without errors) and right up to the Hard Fox.

175055 (Hard Fox Location)	174917 (Hard FOX)	As you can see, I chose to ignore the 'KEEP OUT' sign, driving past it and located the Hard Fox chained to a fence post, some distance within this private property. Normally, transmitters should not be located on private property.

185055 Dave-KG6ACD	185107 Ron-N7TVE	The Jammer hunt was a little more difficult for me. I drove around the area way to much before I found him. Dave-KG6ACD apparently drove right to the Jammer Fox, parked on the upper level of Ohlone College.
185329 Andy-WD6CJK	185334 James-N1DDK	James-N1DDK and Andy-WD6CJK did an excellent job and found the last transmitter (Jammer Fox). James mentioned while at the Easy Fox (2nd transmitter), he saw multiple "FLASHES", as if someone were taking pictures (that was me taking pictures) and drove up to the College to investigate. James and Andy, your very smart. I took a picture of Ron-N7TVE's (Jammer Fox) view from the College. Very nice.
