Winter 2014-2015
80M Fox Hunt
The Winter 2014-2015 80M Fox Hunt will begin on Thursday, November 13th, 2014 and run through Thursday, April 9th, 2015. There will be no hunts the weeks of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. There are two hunts each Thursday, so 20 Foxes will be needed. Each Fox will be scheduled for two hunts, usually separated by several weeks. There
are three factors
that are considered in selecting Foxes:
1. Skill-- the Fox must be able to work through a pile-up and
complete as many exchanges as possible during the hunt. If
you
cannot send and receive at 20wpm you will find it extremely
difficult.
2. Equipment-- the ability to put a stable 5W
signal out
through a good antenna, and a receiver that has adequate sensitivity
and selectivity, with at least +/- 1KHz RIT or "split" capability.
3. Location-- we will strive for as wide a
geographical
distribution of Foxes as possible, consistent with the other
requirements. |
