This was Homing Ins first fox hunt in over a year, the Fullerton Radio club was well represented lots of rookie and experienced “Orienteers” were in attendance. Ken KC6WOK, Kathi KD6CAF, Tim N6DLC represented the GOTAhams. Kathi built a “Tape Measure Yagi” under the Guidance of Marvin KE6HTS, she did a great job and was extremely proud of her accomplishment. Kathi and I sniffed out all the “practice foxes” proving the success of her project. Tim N6DLC visited many park goers that were trying their hand at portable “HF in the park” stations.
