Foxhunt Season Opener!
This
hunt ended up in Kankakee County West
in
the rolling open fields of Limestone Township
A
couple of miles SE of the Rt 113
and
Warner Bridge Rd intersection.
This was a good
run for these seasoned
hunters of the
Kankakee Area Radio Society.
We had three solid
days of rain prior to
the hunt, but
we were blessed with a
one day window
of dry weather!
These hunters came pumped and ready!!!
Clay N9IO, Cindy
N9IOQ and Crystal W9IOU
(The Notorious
"I/O" Bunch)
were hiding here
in the foxes den.
Or, perhaps these
two fellows were
the ones reading
the doppler article to the
hunters from
the May issue of QST.
Greg, WB9STR
was the first
hunter to find
the foxes den!
Greg
is sporting a new antenna this year.
And
yet, he had'nt mentioned anything
about
it to anyone prior to the hunt!
Billie KF9IF
(left) and Don K9NR (center)
were second by
only minutes.
Chip K9IOC (left)
and YL Mickey (right)
placed third
in this contest of skill!
The Kankakee River
played
a major role
in this hunt.
Initial antenna
bearings showed that
the fox was west
of town and could
be on either
side of the river...
There were three
different possible
highways to take
to find this foxes
strategically
located hiding place.
Each being close
to equal in distance.
The hunters broke
up almost immediately,
each used a different
route, determined
to be the first
to find their friendly foe!!!
Changes in transmitter
power and
transmissions
of short duration held this
determined bunch
at bay only for a short time!
