Pathfinder Hunt
Hiders: Don KF6GQ and Steve KD6LAJ
HIding place:
T1 River T was located on the San Gabriel Bike Path, Just north
of Hunington Drive, in Azusa. All the other Ts were located in
an area that was used before on a pathfinder hunt, and was never before
located by the hunters. The area is west of the 605 Freeway, and just
north of Arrow Hwy. Accessed by the bike path on the southwest side of
the SantaFe Dam, along Arrow Hwy. The hunters must part their vehicles
at this location N34 6.919 W 117 58.490. Then Hike northwest along the
bike path, west under the 605 Freeway out to the settling grounds west
of the freeway. Here where 4 transmitters, one was a simplex
Repeater, running about 3 watts to a J-pole, under the power
lines. The others were as followes:
Snake T most south, Tree Voice T, and most north CW 5 Yucca T.
All five Ts were located by WA6DWL and K6MJU (the Winners), and WA6PYE
and N6MJN located 3 Ts, N6ZHZ and Thomas located 2 Ts both in the
settling area west of the 605. Deryl N6AIN had a major problem with his
Jimmy, and Mike helped him get to KF6GQ's home to leave his car there.
Mike and Leonard continued hunting, but had trouble using AIN's Lper,
so wasn't able to find any Ts. Deryl borrowed KF6GQ's car for the night
and came back to a fully chargeded car to then drive home, to get his
altenator fixed. I know Deryl didn't haave fun, but I hope those other
hunters had fun. Bob, Jippy, what happend to you?
