Directions to Meadowview Shopping Center
(Foxhunt Starting Point)
The starting
place for KARS fox hunts
is at the
Meadowview Shopping Center
parking lot
just west of the cinema.
Check out
the small map below to Meadowview.
If you would
like to get involved
but are not
sure how to get started,
come on out, or
send an e-mail to me N9IO,
we'll get you
hooked up with a hunter
that would be
glad to show you the ropes!
After the
hunt is over
the group
meets for pizza or whatever to swap hunt stories...
Looking
forward to meeting you there!
73 from Clay,
N9IO...
Here is a map
of the area that will help get you to the
Meadowview
Shopping Center.
The parking
lot is the X 'ed oval area.
The map is
not to scale, but should serve as a good guide
for those not
familiar with the area.
Meadowview is
at the SE corner of
Kennedy Dr
(Rt 45) and Brookmont Blvd.
KARS
Foxhunts start in the parking area just west of the cinema
in the middle
of the Meadowview
Shopping Center.

Brief Story
Dayton Hamvention 1999:
Friday, the day
before the fox hunt program there was a rather
large group of enthusiastic
fox hunters
gathered around one of the outdoor vendors that was
selling fox hunt transmitters.
I stopped and soon
Marvin Johnston KE6HTS struck up a nice conversation
about t-hunts and the like.
I didn't find out
till the next morning that Marvin was one of the
featured guest speakers of the ARDF talks.
Very nice down to
earth fellow indeed. Marvin is mentioned
throughout Homing-In.
