Winter 2024-2025
40M Fox Hunt


The Winter 2023-2024 40M Fox Hunt will begin on Tuesday (local), November 5, 2024(GMT) and run through Tuesday (local), April 1, 2025 (GMT).  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.
Foxes may choose to participate in the live logging maps, thus coordination with K4OAQ, Fritz -  [email protected] needs to be accomplished as soon as possible after selection.
For timely  scoring of the FOX logs to be accomplished it is imperative the FOX log is posted on the qfox reflector "[email protected]"   as soon as possible after the Hunt. IF paper logging is utilized, and the log is legible, a posted photo would suffice.



Foxes should choose to participate in the live logging maps, thus coordination with K4OAQ, Fritz, [email protected] www.k4oaq.com/fox needs to be accomplished as soon as possible after selection, prior to the season start. Confirmation is expected prior to your hunts.

FOX logs are expected to be posted immediately after the hunt. IF that cannot be accomplished,  please put a note on your application.

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.

The Summer 2025 20M Fox Hunt will begin on Thursday, June 19th, 2025  and run through Thursday, August 28th, 2024. Start is 7pm MT(local). There are two hunts each Thursday,  20 Foxes will be needed.  Each Fox will be scheduled for two hunts, usually separated by several weeks.
