Foxhunting 2024

[Central Vermont Amateur Radio Club]

Hi all,

Since the weather is getting warmer and the snow appears to be subsiding, it's time to start monthly foxhunts once again! 

The club's next foxhunt will take place next Saturday, April 27th at 10am. The fox will be hidden somewhere in Washington county VT on 146.565 MHz FM. 

We normally shut the transmitter off at dusk on Saturday, but I will leave it on for as long as the batteries last (usually sometime Sunday mid afternoon) so everyone gets a chance to try and find it.

If you've never participated in a CVARC foxhunt before, this is what the fox looks like:

If you've never participated in any foxhunt, feel free to use this thread to ask questions!

Thanks Pat! Just a heads-up, the image in your first message does not load for me, can you re-post the image?

 

Thanks!

Sorry about that, here's a link to the image instead: https://imgur.com/a/y5q13Xk

Must be some issues with in-line images.

Also, congrats to Bill N1IRO for finding the fox! The next hunt will be Saturday, May 18th at 10am. County announced closer to the date.

Sounds great - but I’m out of town May 15-23.

Have fun!
