Fox Hunt News

 

April's fox hunt was held on the 16th with Mike, KF9NP, as the fox.  Mike chose as his hiding place the Lake Monroe Dam Overlook.  There were only 3 hunters this month, Larry, WA9FFZ; Brandon, KB9SNP; and Ray, KB9LGS.  Brandon was the winner, getting there is just about an hour.  This will make Brandon the fox for May's fox hunt.  The May fox hunt will be on May 14th at 4:30 PM.  This is a weel earlier than normal ( the second Saturday) due to the normal, third Saturday being Dayton Hamfest weekend.  Just in case anyone couldn't make up their mind on Dayton or the fox hunt.  Hope to see you there.
