2nd KARS Foxhunt for 2008
HYBRID
HUNT
By Clay Melhorn,
N9IO
On a 90°
day in Illinois the N9IO Prius "Fox Mobile" has proven to be the vehicle
of choice for the hunt.
Sitting for an extended
period of time with the A/C on has overheated many a foxmobile.
What an absolute
joy this was, I have sat and sweated many times
over the years waiting
for my foxhunting friends to find my location.
Barely used any
fuel at all, I mean almost nothing.
This is great!
I highly recommend the Prius for foxhunting,
Em-Comm vehicle,
weather spotter, etc.
This hunt found
the fox at an abandoned gas station
in the cleared lot
right off I-57 at the Chebanse Illinois Exit.
Crystal, W9IOU says
the fox's signal was all over the place, lots of reflections.
Toward the end of
the hunt two Chebanse locals stopped by after seeing the
bunch gathering,
N9LAH, Phil and Mike, nephew to KARS own N9OE.
