Winter 2022-2023
40M Fox Hunt
The Winter 2019-2020 40M Fox Hunt will begin on Tuesday, November 1st, 2022 and run through Tuesday, March 28th, 2023. There will be no Hunts during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are two hunts each Tuesday, so 20 Foxes will be needed. Each Fox will be scheduled for two hunts, usually separated by several weeks. There are
three factors that are considered in selecting Foxes:
1.
Skill-- the Fox must be able to work through a pile-up
and complete as many exchanges as possible during the
hunt. If you cannot send and receive at 20wpm
you will find it extremely difficult.
2.
Equipment-- the ability to put a stable 5W
signal out through a good antenna, and a receiver that
has adequate sensitivity and selectivity, with at
least +/- 1KHz RIT or "split" capability. 3. Location-- we will strive for as wide a geographical distribution of Foxes as possible, consistent with the other requirements. |
