July 14 Meeting - Fox Hunt in the Glen

Tuesday, July 14 is the annual NSRC Hidden Transmitter Fox Hunt. We will meet at Starbucks in the Glen Town Center shopping mall in Glenview at 6:45 for instruction. The hunt begins at 7:00 and ends at 8:30 p.m. or when everyone is lost and/or The Fox is found.  Joe AB9OU and Charles K9AZH are the Fox, having overcame fierce competition last year to find it first.  To participate, all you need is an HT and a way to attenuate your antenna. You can make a small paper clip antenna, or  a small yagi - there are several simple designs to be found via web search. When you get close, you will need hunting skills and cunning - Foxes are crafty. There is some walking involved - you may walk up to 2 – 3 miles, depending on how lost you get. Best to travel in groups of two or three or more. There is a post-hunt gathering at the Yard House - (it is considered inappropriate to gather at the Yard House before the Fox is found.)

Join us on July 14 at Starbucks, 1895 Tower Drive, in the center of the Glen,  just west of Patriot Blvd. Patriot Blvd. can be accessed via Willow on the north or Lake Ave on the south. Bring a friend.  Click here for map.

Note that there will be no meeting at Heller in July!!!
