David's Story

Mike and I had a great time! Here is what we hid and what was found.

T1 (Skidmark T) Turnout above Temecula on Rancho California Rd This T was running 2W thru a Twigtenna© T1 was found by: K6KTP and KE6VCR

T2 Was located on Eagle Nest Dr. overlooking the Temecula Valley. This T came on momentarily at 11:00, then mysteriously went off the air. Mike and I were driving up Rancho California Rd and noticed it was not on the air, so we went to take a look. Opening the box seemed to have cured the problem. This T was running 2W thru a Twigtenna© This T was found by: KF6GQ/KD6LAJ, N6XFC/N6AIN, WB6JPI, KE6VCR

T3 Was never planted (ran out of time)

T4 was located in a creekbed off of Buck Rd. Squawkbox thru a 1/2 wave dipole. No one found this T

T5 was located in an oak tree in the middle of De portola Rd. This T was a Squawkbox thru a 1/2 wave dipole. This T was found by: N6AIN/N6XFC. Steve was kind enough to reprogram this T for me.

T6 was located in a large grouping of rocks off of East Benton Rd. This was a Squawkbox thru a 1/2 wave dipole. This T was found by KF6GQ/KD6LAJ.

T7 was located in a tree next to a water tower fence. This was a Squawkbox thru a 3 element yagi. This T was found by KF6GQ/KD6LAJ, WA6RJN.

T8 was located on unmarked private property off of Sageblossom Ln. The owner of the property saw us pass by, and informed us that it was private property, but as long as we did not light the place on fire, we were welcome to hide as many T's as we wanted to. This T was found by: KF6GQ/KD6LAJ, N6AIN/N6XFC. We had the privilege of seeing a nice sized rattle snake on the way back to pick up our T's.

I think we found 10 T's
