Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris and Natasha, those White Rock Lake radio foxes, will be released again on June 3 at 9 AM. They will be running on the loose until 5 PM on June 4th.
These fox hunts are always held in the White Rock Lake area, on pubic land and within a mile of the lake. Rocky transmits on 146.565 MHz FM, and a very low powered Bullwinkle is close by on 146.545 MHz. Boris is also close by on 146.580 MHz. Natasha is a UHF fox transmitter operating on 446.100 MHz. Many club members are able to hear Rocky at their home QTH, so hunt for Rocky first, then for Bullwinkle and lastly for Boris. Natasha may or may not be hearable from the locations of the other three foxes.
Listen for a distinctive set of warbling tones followed by a CW ID. Each transmission is about 20 seconds long and repeats each minute.
Radio fox hunts are scheduled at the lake on the first and third Saturday of each month.
Many thanks to Dave, K5YR, and David, KG5VSR, for hosting these fun events on behalf of the club for area hams to enjoy and to practice radio direction finding skills.
