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.

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.

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
