Usually Dale does these down in Oregon, but this one's significantly closer to us than usual! If you haven't been on one of Dale's hunts before, you ought to take the opportunity to give it a try! One of the great things about bunny hunts is that your unlicensed friends and family members can participate. Incidentally, I'd like to host a rural hunt up here sometime this summer, and this event would be good preparation for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPDATEThis event has been rescheduled for the 22nd. I'm told that there will be at least one "walk-in" fox to find. Details on the event calendar
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Clark County (WA) Amateur Radio Club is re-initiating their regular transmitter hunts. Transmitter Hunt Westfield / Vancouver Mall is by the intersection of I-205 and SR-500. For folks coming from Oregon, cross the Columbia on I-205 and take Exit 30C SR-500 Westbound. That takes you right past the mall on your Right - take the next exit Right on to Thurston, and the next Right drops you into the parking lot. Follow the road around to the right to the starting point.
I'm planning to attend, and will have some room in my van for those who want to ride along and learn. I'd particularly like to find someone who is familiar with the area if possible. (Those booking seats early get first preference.)
That gives us a hunt for February, and I'm also scheduled to talk on transmitter hunting at the Corvallis Peak Radio Association meeting on Monday 17 February. Anyone want to volunteer to host a hunt for March? Happy hunting! |
