FOXTRAVAGANZA 2024
The QRP Fox Hunt Committee is delighted to announce the 2024 20M Foxtravaganza, which will take place on:

During Foxtravaganza, ALL of the 2024 Summer Foxes, Alternates, and Committee members will be eligible to call "CQ FOX" on 20M at the usual time, 0100z, Friday,  Thursday in the USA.   The exchange is the usual, and bragging logs may be posted, but there will be no "official" results.  Just fun.  How many Foxes can  you work when there are 15 or so available??   May the Fox be ever in your favor....
