The T went on the air at 19:30. Output power was initially set to 1 Watt feeding a vertically polarized 7-Element Yagi aimed approximately 335 Degrees True. Complaints were received from the start point that the signal was very weak but generally North-Northeast. In response, transmitter power was increased to 10 Watts to aid initial bearings. Due to a controller malfunction, the carrier was on continuously making bearings easier to obtain. Both hunters then obtained bearings sufficient to begin the hunt.

At approximately 20:25, after educating the indigenous population and the local PD about T-Hunting and the consequences of winning a Saturday night hunt, the original transmitter was found to be overheating with output power dropping. Power was reduced to 1 Watt shortly after which the transmitter ceased transmitting. The  transmitter was then replaced with the Comm's transmitter and RF output power increased to 15 Watts. A different controller was also used providing intermittent transmissions as originally intended.

The transmitter was located on the East side of Hunters Trail midway between Beaverbrook Lane and High Country Drive in the City of Glendora. The Lat/Lon were 34 Degrees, 7' 25.26" N, 117 Degrees 50' 24.24" W. This location is approximately 11 miles NNE (Just a few degrees East of due North) of the start point.

KN6AXD was seen 150 feet North of the T on Hunters trail but turned East into a network of roads with no outlet. A short 5 minutes later WA6CYY arrived at the hidden T having traveled as far East as IS 15. KN6AXD arrived four minutes later.
