Radio is about experimenting. Well... we are going to try a new, lower power fox. The "normal" fox is 700mW. The July fox will be 53mW.
46mW on WSPR made it to Antartica. I guess we'll all see how far 53mW goes in the Fox Valley. We may have to work together on this hunt. :-)

The FCARC VEs will be conducting Ham Exams Saturday, July, 20 at Maplewood Middle School,1600 Midway Road, Menasha 54952.

June’s 50/50 raffle is for a Gerchron Atlas 2 4K

Saturday, June 1st. 0730 - 1630 - or until the batteries run out.
147.555MHz Somewhere in the Fox Cities. See Map.
Since Fox Hunting is a receive only activity, all future and current Hams are welcome to participate.
PLEASE DO NOT post where it is when you find it. A simple "Found it!" is enough. Allow others the thrill of the hunt.
There are NO prizes.
Later in the day if someone needs a few hints... go for it.
You will be able to hear the fox from the 41/441 loop with a HT in the car. That's how I verify that it is getting out.
Have fun!

After MUCH discussion, the FCARC Board of Directors has decided to auction off the Ham Van mast assembly. The mast includes the cable and the air compressor.

Sorry, kids. This site doesn't allow me to add the assembly instructions.
