CARP T-Hunt Results – October 17, 2009
This month’s CARP Transmitter Hunt was held immediately following the Fresno Hamfest. The start point was the location of the Hamfest, the Salvation Army Citadel downtown. The radius was set at 5 miles due the the late start time. Dave Dansby NI6M and myself, Rob Mavis AE6GE won the September hunt, so we were the designated foxes for the day. Unfortunately Dave was ill and could not participate.
Immediately after the hamfest as the prize drawing was underway, I hurried to the predetermined hide location. When I arrived, I found the lot to be full of cars and an event taking place. So I had to a few minutes to choose one of the alternate locations. I hurried to Radio Park and positioned my pickup truck in the small parking lot behind the Fresno Arts Center. There was an excellently placed 30 foot C-train located on the side of the lot that allow me to hide behind so that the truck was only visible from the entrance to the lot and from down the street.
