Winter
2020-2021
80M Fox Hunt
The
Winter 2020-21 80M
Fox Hunt will begin on Thursday, November 5th, 2020,
and run through
Thursday, April 1, 2020. There will be no Hunts
during the weeks of the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. 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. |
