A fairly unofficial ARDF sprint event on 2m was held this morning, after the night orienteering events at the You Yangs. It was set around the delightful camping area.
I had problems with TX#3 behaving oddly and crapping over other cycles, so I left it out of this event. I think I may have mis-programmed it (some time ago) somehow !
5 hardy souls had a go, with Dennis H coming in from nearby (apologies about the locked gate!) just for the event. Congrats to Suzanne, who I imagine will be surprised she won overall.
Here are the results:
Name | Time | Txs found | Ranking |
Suzanne OC | 25 mins | 5 | 1 |
Dennis H | 30 mins | 5 | 2 |
Rex N | 37 mins | 5 | 3 |
Peter M | 42 mins | 5 | 4 |
Dennis M | 14 mins | 2 | 5 |
A few things to improve on:
- We could try 20 sec on time (1:40 cycle time) to phase people into the shorter cycles
- More work needs to be done on TX clock sync adjustment. I had problems with TXs drifting their timeslot and encroaching on others.
- Better packaging. I think one reset itself by being bumped.
