October 1998 Foxhunt

The VK3YQN team ran Friday night’s hunt, starting at K-Mart Burwood. The first and fourth hunts were three-legged, with teams being scored on the time spent on each leg. The second hunt was the ubiquitous YQN sniffer hunt. The third hunt was a VK3ROG simplex repeater hunt, where hounds were required to transmit an over to the fox, which would record and re-broadcast it (and thus provide a signal to DF).

Hunts were run on 2m only.

Scores were as follows (out of a total maximum of 80):

Hunt	1		2	3	4		Total	Place

VK3TKQ	10+10+10=30	4	3	9+4+10=23	60	5
VK3BLN	10+2+10=22	7	4	2+10+10=22	55	4
VK3EM	9+10+10=29	10	10	10+0+10=20	69	6
VK3WWW	1+5+0=6		0	3	1+2+10=13	22	1
VK3PW	4+0+1=5		7	0	3+10+1=14	26	2
VK3TVB	0+4+10=14	10*	5	0+1+0=1		30	3

* Would have been 8 except for lack of creek-crossing enthusiasm by VK3MZ.

Well done to VK3WWW.

Next month’s hunt is to be run by VK3BLN…? 19 November 1998.


Cheerio.
