Below
are many photos of
KARS
6th Foxhunt for 1999
Krister KB9PEA
was a great fox
in the September
19th foxhunt!
Krister
led our foxhunting bunch
to
the parking lot of Limestone
School,
out west of Kankakee.
This
was Krister's first time to
play
the role of the "Sly Fox"
and
by all indications his choice of
hiding
places served him well as
you
will find as you read further. . .
CONGRATS KRISTER
ON A JOB WELL
DONE!
KARS
President John WD9AYI has
volunteered
to be the October "Sly Fox".
Thanks
John, we look forward to seeing you.
N9IO and N9LCR
compare notes and
quad antennas
at the starting point.
Jay
N9LCR built one of the infamous
2
element light weight fiberglass quad
antennas
in kit form by Clay N9IO.
Brief
History of the "FIG QUAD":
The
quad N9IO is carrying (above) is the
original
antenna built for Clay in 1985 by
"good
friend" and long time foxhunter
Charlie
WD9FIG of Hammond, Indiana.
Charlie
and XYL Midge WD9FIH
used
these quads in great foxhunts
held
by the Lake County ARC (IN)
in
the 1980's winning time after time.
1st place hunting
team
K9NR, KF9IF and
N9LCR
winner of this
month's hunt.
N9LCR's
quad was the antenna
of
choice for this focused group.
As
of the time of this writing
Billie
KF9IF has finished her own
quad
identical to that of N9LCR's.
Impromptu
fox hunts have been
heard
emanating from County East.
Competition
is getting fiece around
here
in the County as interest in
foxhunting
continues to grow!
Talk
of calling more impromptu foxhunts
is
currently being discussed in the area.
QST:
(As I am writing this I just received
a
phone call from KF9IF and K9NR
informing
me there will be an impromptu
hunt
this Sunday Oct 3rd around 2PM.
Listen
on 146.94 machine for the actual time.
Don
K9NR is hiding and Billie KF9IF
is
testing her new quad and attenuator.
Anyone
wishing to join in are welcome!)
Also, thanks for the photos Billie...
WB9STR was 2nd
place.
Greg
weapon of choice is a 3 element yagi.
N9MBR was 3rd
place.
Bob
and Nicki like their yagi also.
4th place hunting
team
N9IOQ and N9IO
bring up the
rear in a "RARE"
screw up on N9IO's
part.
Let
me give you a helpful hint to
successful
hunting in Kankakee County.
If
you end up on the wrong side of the
Kankakee
River you are in big trouble.
(((
Consult your map pryer to the start of the hunt! )))
Your
initial reading can be a crucial one!
The
wrong side of the river can be a 30+ minute goof.
In
this case the equipment
did'nt
fail, my brain did !!!
Not
to worry, "the terminator" will
be
back with a vengeance Oct 24th.
Stay
Tuned Folks!!!
