Winter 2017-2018
80M Fox Hunt


The Winter 2017-2018 80M Fox Hunt will begin on Thursday, November 9th, 2017, and run through Thursday, March 29th, 2018.  There will be no Hunts during the week of the Thanksgiving holiday.  There are two hunts each Thursday, 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.
