Geocache Description:

First the Mooty Bridge, then the Sunny Point.

Great lunch time cache or anytime cache for that matter. Good place to bring the kids and have a picnic.

This was where we hid the Fox in our Spring 2011 Fox Hunt.

A Fox Hunt is a game played by Amateur Radio Operators, where they hide a radio transmitter and then see who can find it first using and radio and directional antennas.

Gary Pike and Collin Pike worked together as a team and were the first to find on this particular hunt. They will get a trophy and their name on a plaque. Thier time was just under 45 minutes from start to find.

Practicing radio direction finding teaches new hams and allows old hams to practice RDF. These skills are used to find leaky RF cables, missing Project Lifesaver patients, ankle bracelets and people transmitting illegal. Yes we actually hunt down people using radios without licenses or causing interference. So the next time you hear of someone doing something illegal with a radio, remember hams practice regularly to catch you and actually enjoy doing it. It is a game and a challenge to them. If you hear of someone getting lost and being found with a radio, it was probably a ham that was on the hunt. If you hear of an alzhiemer patient getting lost and then being found, you can bet a ham was operating the equipment.

Amateur Radio more than just a hobby, its a public service!

When all else fails.... Amateur radio!
