We hid 4.5 transmitters.  Here is what we hid:





T1 1W buried transmitter with super stealth stick

antenna Bluff St just North of Dorina over the edge. 

The battery for the PICON died at 5:15, right as we

were walking over to it to un-bury it.

Hunters that signed into this T:

N6AIN

K6SNE

KF6GQ/KD6LAJ (we give them .5 points because it died

right as they were driving up to it)





T2 1W buried transmitter with super stealth stick

antenna on a dirt trail at the end of North Florida St

and Santa Rita in Banning  T was still running when

picked up, no one signed into this T.  This T could be

40 over from SNE's T, and was even heard on the 3rd

harmonic at this point.

Unknown why nobody found it.





T3 EASTER EGG 50mW Squakbox at the intersection of

Bluff and Mesa inside a big pink and lavender Easter

Egg.  There was supposed to be candy with the egg, but

we forgot it in the back of the Durango.

T4 Rubber Snake with South Park characters talking

about a snake.  50mW squakbox on dirt road just before

you headed up the hill for Bluff Rd  (below KF6GQ FFA

T)  Hunters that signed into this T:

T.5 DOH! By far the easiest T to find!  This was a '97

Dodge Stratus radiator cap inside of it's OEM Mopar

box.  The antenna was a cut off Dodge Stratus AM/FM

stereo antenna.  Apparently the radiator cap was doing

it's job, as it must have been radiating in order for

the 3 hunter that signed into it.   This T was located

about 15 ft west of T1.

Hunters that signed into this T:

SNE and AIN actually cut the taped box open to see the

super-high-power radiator cap, then taped it back up

and placed it back in it's spot so that it could be

found by Jippy.





What we found in order:

N6AIN T1

KD6LAJ T2 1.5 second KD6 T

KF6GQ T2

KF6GQ FFA of 5 T

K6SNE T of questionable polarity

WB6JPI T9

WB6JPI T6

WB6JPI T7

KE6VCR T3

KE6VCR T5

TRAVIS'S TALKING T 2 (Melanie called this the "Shut up

Travis T"  Apparently she has the recording memorized

and cannot get it out of her head. (-;

N6AIN T3







Melanie and I had a great time on the hunt!
