Geocache Description:

Very well camouflaged

Amateur radio has come a long ways since the days of the spark gap transmitter and Morse code. Today there are satellites, packet, PSK31, and other modes of communication from shortwave up through microwaves.

Almost in the shadow of the Midland Amateur Radio Club's antennas, this cache is full of electronic components, bridging between the 20th and 21st centuries. While there is no resonant circuit to guess the center frequency and Q, there are some marvels of modern circuitry. It's amazing what will really fit in a micro.

It's sort of an experiment in camouflage, so if you can't find it the first time, check out (the club website) and drop by for a meeting.

I looked right at it 5 minutes after placing it, and poof.
