[SESprint] QRP Fox Hunt Tonight

[John Laney]

Hello all:

Some of you are regulars on the QRP Fox Hunt hunts and others haven't 
tried this fun activity which runs on 40 and 80M in the fall, winter, 
and early spring and on 40M in the summer.  I will be a fox tonight 
along with N4TMM (JIM GA) on 80M.  The two foxes will be calling between 
3550 and 3570 kHz between 0100 and 0230Z (Friday UTC date).  The 
exchange is RST, SPC, Name, and Power.  Work only the two foxes and do 
not spot their frequencies.  I will start out listening "UP" which means 
about 1 to 1 1/2 kHz above my transmit frequency.  When the pile up 
disapears, I will stop sending "UP" and listen on my own frequency.  To 
count for the activity, you must run 5W or less.  My exchange will be 
real RST, GA, JOHN, 5W  I will be using a FT1000MP dialed down to 5W and 
switching between an 80M coax fed inverted vee dipole that favors the 
west and an 88' center fed zepp that favors the north

If the skip is long on 80M tonight, some of you may not hear the GA 
foxes at first.  The skip often changes and sometimes shortens during 
the hunt, so it pays to listen until the end.

It is very unusual for two foxes to be in the same state, so Jim and I 
have a real competition tonight.  Each of us thinks the other will 
likely make more hound QSOs.  So please drop in and try work both Foxes. 
  You can do a computer search for "QRP Fox Hunts" and find the home 
page where the results, schedules, and rules are posted.

Join in the fun whenever you can!  73/72, John, K4BAI.
