Sherburne County ARES "Fox Hunt"
Released: Sunday, November 6, 2011 0900 hrs.
Subject: Fall Activity
On Saturday, November
19th, 2011,
the Sherburne County ARES will hold a radio signal
tracking exercise, also known as a "Fox Hunt". The
exercise will start at approximately 10:00AM, at the Elk
River Golf Course parking lot, on County Road 1.
Following completion of the exercise, the participants
are invited to attend a pot-luck meal/get-together.
During this exercise,
we will be refining our abilities to locate amateur
radio operators solely by tracing the origins of their
radio transmissions. By
participating in this exercise, we will learn more about
radiowave propogation, advantages of using different
types of antennas, and also familiarize ourselves with
the roads within our county.
