[AARA] Fox Hunt - St.Tammany Parish

[Herman Campbell]

*Calling All Hams* (and even those not licensed).

A “*Fox*” (hidden radio transmitter) has been spotted in the Eastern 
part of St.Tammany Parish.

Several sightings have been reported within 3 miles of the Ozone Amateur 
Radio Club's Emergency Operation Center in Slidell. Some have reported 
being able to hear this sneaky fellow cry out on a pretty regular basis.

Everyone is invited to head out on /*Saturday, February 13, 2021*/ in an 
attempt to track down and locate the “*Fox*”. Check-in will begin on the 
147.270 repeater (+0.6 MHz) at about 9:50 am. Once everyone is checked 
in, the most recent area that the “*Fox*” has been spotted will be given 
and the hunt will begin. The hunt will commence at 10 am and end by 2 
pm, or earlier if all the hunters have found the “*Fox*” . The first 
four hunters that successfully find the fox will have their choice of 
some small rewards.

Please remember to socially distance yourself during the hunt. With 
COVID-19 restrictions still in place, there will be no official 
in-person gathering during the hunt. You are more than welcomed to team 
up with other members of your household though. This hunt is open to 
anyone, including non-ham radio operators, since it requires one to only 
receive and not transmit a signal.

I'm looking forward to a good turnout and, if there's enough interest, 
I'll hide a “*Fox*”  at least once a month for everyone to hunt. I hope 
to move around the Northshore and also the Southshore in an attempt to 
give as many people as possible a chance to participate.

Please use the following link to register:

There will not be any official spot to meet beforehand so that everyone 
can socially distance themselves from each other. As long as you're on 
the 147.270 +600 repeater around 9:45 am that morning, I'll give out all 
the information needed.

The frequency for the fox transmitter will be 146.565 Simplex

Let me know if you have any other questions.
