Activity: "T"-Hunt followed by Breakfast in the Park (locate the bunny and then enjoy a free breakfast) Details: The bunny will be hiding in one of the PARKS in the greater Ogden area, probably one with a bowery. 1st to find the hidden transmitter: $100 FREQUENCY >>> 145.41 MHz simplex Monitor 448.600 Mt Ogden repeater: Over-the-Air Hints, Give-Up?, Bunny and Breakfast location (Note: No hints before 9:00 am) Hone your skills at tracking down the location of the hidden transmitter. It will require a bit of skill and will require driving, so bring a designated driver to assist you with the challenging activity. There will be a prize for the first contestant to locate the hidden transmitter. You can hunt the fox with your HT and a paper clip. Hold the unit down close to your chest and pirouette around and find the direction where the signal sounds the weakest. If the signal is full quieting, de-tune the radio 5 or 10 kHz until some noise is heard with the signal. When you have found the direction of weakest-sounding signal, the signal is coming from behind you. This is the direction from which your body provides the most attenuation. _________________________________ Obay Estate Sale - WB7BW (sk) Obay Estate Sale - John Shupe K7DJO (sk) Obay Sale ... additional new items ___________________________________				NOTE: All previous Event Pictures & Exhibits can be found in "Photo Gallery" NOTE: All previous centennial celebration exhibits can be found in "Downloads" 2025 ... history *"Photo Gallery"* 2026 ...
