Transmitter hunt

Hiders: Joe K0OV, Tom WB6UZZ AND April WA6OPS
Somebody said that Pantera
Park in Diamond Bar has been used for the Fullerton club hunt before, but I'll
bet that hider didn't put a yagi up on the hillside in the wilderness area south
of the park, pointed NNE and nicely blocked from the start point. That's what
WB6UZZ and I did, with enough coax so that the transmitter was legally within
100 feet of the street and the parking lot.
We hoped to lure the teams
out the 60 freeway to at least Phillips Ranch Road, but I don't think anyone
went that far out of the way. All the official teams successfully sniffed out
the antenna on the side of the hill.
Welcome back to Phil and Karen, who
got to the site with their Ramsey Doppler.
Afterwards, everyone gathered
around to admire K6SNE's new secret weapon.
