No worries on the Mouser order Jeremy; you’re allowed to screw up just like the rest of us!
Sat 27 October is fine with me.
I’d like to have you make me two custom cables. A SMA male<->BNC male to go from my HT to my offset attenuator http://www.west.net/~marvin/k0ov.htm , and a BNC M<-> loose ends to attach to my antenna. We can figure out the lengths on Saturday.
Daydreaming again……. We could make our fox hunt a real challenge by incorporating two foxes and geocache elements as well. Follow me now…..
Each team consists of fox hunters AND geocachers.
1) Start – 1st fox is activated, geocachers are given coordinates to 1st geocache.
2) Fox hunters hunt fox, cachers hunt cache.
3) 1st geocache holds log book, frequency of second fox, and phone number for 1st arriving team to call to activate fox #2. Each geocache team signs log, and calls their fox hunt partners to inform them of the fox #2 frequency
4) 1st fox location holds a log and coordinates for geocache #2. Fox hunters arriving at fox #1 sign log book and phone their geocache partners to give them the coordinates for geocache #2.
5) After finding Fox or geocache #1 and getting required additional info from their team partners, the fox hunters & cachers hunt fox or geocache #2.
6) First team to sign all four logs wins. Each finishing team will have found two geocaches, two foxes, and signed four log books.
Just a thought

Good points all Jeremy.
A thought on location; Brackenridge Park was suggested by K5SUZ during the net Wednesday. He had participated in a multiple transmitter hunt there in the seventies and mentioned that the parking lot of Alamo stadium was a good starting point due to elevation over the entire park. Alamo as a start point is probably overkill for our needs, but the park itself has merit.
Centrally located (bracketed by 281, Hildebrand, Broadway, & Mulberry) , it’s 343 acres provides ample space to operate. Abundant oaks provide lots of shade, and the ducks swimming in the river are good entertainment. Additionally it has good things to do in the area (Zoo, Japanese Tea Garden, Witte Museum) for family members not participating in the fox hunt.
Personally I’m cool with any park location, but Brack deserves consideration.
LOANER EQUIPMENT – If we end up with a large response of folks that want to play but don’t have a 2-meter HT, I have several handheld scanners that would work fine for the fox hunt. Just need to build a few extra antennas (BNC connector).
