Register

80m: We will be using the OK2BWN 80m Transmitters at 3W which is likely the same transmitters that will be used at the Worlds. The course will fit on Letter size paper at 1:10,000 (5 foxes 5.9k; 3 foxes 3.1k)

2m: We will use Charles' 2m transmitters. Definitely these will be used for the US Champs. The course will fit on Letter size paper at 1:10,000 (5 foxes; 5.8k 3 foxes 3.5k) . I have done my best to locate the transmitters where there will be multiple reflections so you can get good practice before the US Champs and Worlds.

Sprint: We will use OK2BWN 30mW transmitters on bamboo poles. There will be 5 transmitters with different courses on Saturday and Sunday. The sprint will fit within the 300m exclusion zone for the other courses.

FoxOring: 5.5k Charles' FoxO transmitters. Definitely these will be used for the US Champs. The course will fit on Letter size paper at 1:10,000. Since the Classic courses are all in the same area as the FoxO, I recommend that you do a classic course before you do the FoxO. Toward that end the FoxO will stay on until 5pm and will also be on Monday.

Pizza Dinner: We will host a pizza dinner Saturday afternoon.

The Start and Finish for all the formats will be close to the house, registration and gathering area.

Camping and Hotels: Camping is available on our property as well as nearby comercial campgrounds. There are also a variety of Hotels in the area.
