For the first hunt of 1997 Clarke ADC decided to hide 2 transmitters,
one in the Long Beach Marina and the other on the east side of
Signal Hill. The T1 Marina tee was running less than 100 milliwatts into
a 15 element yagi, horizontally polarized at the start point. The T2 Signal
Hill tee was a 4 element quad, vertical aiming back at the Marina running
a GQ tee box at 20 milliwatts. 

The results are:
