CONGRATS DON!!!!

The Ts:


T-1 of Four (the main T) was located 100 yards south of the statue at the T in the Dana Point marina road. This transmitter was 50 watts fed into a Cushcraft 13-B2 and pointed at Santiago Peak. Due to a controller malfunction seconds before the hunt was to start this T was stuck in a 50/50 duty cycle of 10 seconds on/off. This tee was latter dubbed the PAIN-IN-THE-@$! T by all those that sniffed.

T-2 was placed 100 feet south of T-1. This T was a GQ Micro T hidden in a Crackerjacks box, inside a crumpled paper bag. and setting next to two crushed Budwiser cans. Clark picked up style points for his unique sniffing method. When you gotta go, you gotta go!

T-3 was located in the bushes at the youth center parking lot on the North end of the harbor. This was another GQ Micro T hidden in a irrigation valve vault (the plastic flower pot thingy). This was dubbed the skunk T, it seems the little critters took a liking to it.

T-4 was located above the harbor to the north on Cove drive at the top of Dana Point Bluff. This was a TH-78a and a RaCon controller transmitting 2 watts into a Miracle Baby Antenna (its a miracle you can get a signal out of one of those things.) I hope you all managed to avoid the doggie land mines here.

All Ts could be heard, albeit with some difficulty, from the main T location with an HT.

Thanks to all for coming out. 73! de SNE
