May Fox Hunt Fun

Fifteen HAMs participated in the SFARC May Fox Hunt. A good turnout.  Special shoutout to Lowell Fletcher W6LDF who drove all the way from Redding CA to join in. Wow!

The Hunt got off to a slow start but thanks to both Brian AI6US and Doug W2VX who jumped in to help Joshua KN6NUF with his first Fox Hunt as the Fox Tender.  Joshua had a great idea for making the Fox mobile; however, we learned that the execution of a mobile Fox is going to take some more thought and planning.  We will build on this idea in the future. Despite the slow start everyone still had a great time.

Congratulations to Chase Galland the grandson of Tom NN6H for being the first to find the Fox.  A good reminder is that Fox Hunts are a great family affair and you do not need to be a licensed HAM to hunt for the Fox.

There will not be a Fox Hunt in June due to Field Day 2026 on the last Saturday of the month.  The “Hunt” in June will be on the airwaves at Georgetown Airport seeking contacts.  Please get involved in Field Day if you can. The next SFARC Fox Hunt will be Saturday July 25, and John Fischer KO6COW and his son Jayden Rikkers-Fischer W6EFM will be our Fox Tenders.
