At the last minute, the MMRA transmitter used for the HamX hidden transmitter hunt, AKA fox hunt, developed a problem. Phil K9HI contacted me and asked me to bring my fox as a replacement, set to the announced fox frequency. I did so, and deployed it behind a fallen tree next to the far side of the hotel building. A total of 8 people signed the notebook next to the fox to let us know they found it, and a few emailed me about their hunting experience.
One ham, who shall remain nameless to protect their innocence, didn’t spot the direct path to the fox, and instead used a challenging route through thorny bushes!
My fox cycles though a set of voice messages, so if I am asked to bring the fox next time, I will customize the messages for HamX.
