[SECC] QRP Fox Hunt Thursday night USA time, 0200-0330Z Friday

[John Laney]

On 20 meters CW, between 14050 and 14070 kHz, there will be a QRP Fox 
Hunt, part of the QRP Fox Hunt Summer Series.  The two foxes are Jim, 
N0UR in MN, and John, K4BAI, in GA.  Hope many will participate.  You 
may run no more than 5W output and you may not spot the foxes' 
frequencies.  The exchange is RST, SPC, Name, Power.  The foxes will 
probably be split at the start (and indicate that by "UP" or "DWN") and 
may go to simplex when the pileups die down. For the hunt itself, you 
may work only the two foxes.


I will be using my new (to me) FTDX5000, and I am still learning how to 
use it, although I have used them at the WW4LL contest station for 
several years.  My antenna is a TH6DXX at 55 feet and I will also have 
an 88 foot center fed zepp at about 45 feet and I can switch back and 
forth between the antennas.  I will probably beam north to start with 
and then move to the west with the antenna.  Band conditions on 20M have 
been very good at this time of night lately.


Complete rules and fox hunt schedules may be seen on the QRP Fox Hunt 
Home Page.


Hope to work you all in IARU HF this weekend too.  73/72, John, K4BAI.
