    With the forecast for May 9 being rainy, we've moved forward a week to Tuesday May 16.

    Join us for a driving radio direction finding 'fox hunt' on May 16 @ 7:30 PM - meet up at the Club Station 4211 80 Ave NE Calgary. We'll be looking for a transmitter on 146.565 within a short radius of the starting location. We might also have a voice 'beacon' on 146.415. Try out your gear & skills after we did some testing a while ago.

    We'll meet up for a short briefing & orientation, then head out to find the 'fox', stopping several times to take bearings. After about an hour, we can meet back at the Club Station for a debriefing & share experiences. Even if you don't have any direction fnding gear, come on out & meet up with someone who has gear to see how they do things.

    Sorry, it won't be Zoom compatable as we stop at multiple locations to triangulate the 'fox' location.

    See you May 16, it wouldn't be much fun in the rain on May 9!
