The March 7th 1998 First Saturday T-Hunt Results



Just a quick message to congratulate the hunters who participated and found the real T1 and T2.

T1 was set up by Clark WB6ADC near a restricted area by the end of Woodview Rd. in Chino Hills. T1 was 5 milliwatts, vertical polarized and pointed at Baldy. Clark activated T1 at 6:57 PM as planned while T2 was horizontal and at first attempt pointed at Baldy. T2 was activated at 7 PM as planned and ran for three minutes before I (KB6NYW) turned T2 off to check with the starting point to see If T2 could be heard.

The Baldy bounce failed with 1 watt and I readjusted T2 to point directly at T1. The hunt had officially start.

Mean while I finished setting up a bogus T2 which by original plan was placed 48 feet behind T2 to radiate as a passive repeater to lure hunters away from T2. How ever this attempt failed due to the change in direction of T2.

The location of T2 was high up on the west side of a hill north west of the corner of Hamner and Fifth St. in Norco just west of the 15 Freeway.

Clark and I eagerly watched of the hunters as they came in and sorted out the real T2 and the fake T2. T1 could be heard from T2 how ever due to the surounding area their were confusions as to which way to go to get to T1.

The result: Congradulations to KK6ME and KD6LOR The winners
