This cache is part of a series of geocaches that will introduce you to some of the Amateur Radio Repeaters around Ontario.
If you are an amateur radio operator, each cache contains the callsign and frequency of a repeater that can be heard from the cache area, so you can chat with some of the local hams on your way back to the car, or on your way to the next cache.
There is a code word and repeater call sign on the first page of the log book. Save this information if you want to go for the final later.
Park at N42 26.534, W82 06.418
If you look across the road from the parking, you will see one of repeater sites for the Chatham-Kent area. The repeater is also an APRS digipeater.
The cache is located in Miller Wood, part of the Lower Thames Conservation Authority lands. Visitors are welcome to this place between 8AM and 10:30PM daily, free of charge. The terrain rating is set due to the bushwhacking involved. There are no trails in this woodlot.
It is recommended to visit this cache when the ground is frozen, or the ground is dry. There are raspberry bushes in the area too.
Please visit www.rac.ca for more information on Amateur Radio.
