Hi Pat!

160M?  Really?  I've never heard of such a thing!  Fascinating.  How much
territory would these hunts cover: city wide, county wide, state wide?  I am
positive the driving was not an example of safe driving practices, and you
are lucky not to have had to call somebody to come bail you out of jail ; )
And, I bet everyone wanted you on their team.

73,

Richard,
Back in the day we did a lot of 160 meter fox hunting.  It was mobile based
until you got close enough to walk and find the fox.  Lots of fun - I had a
great ear back then and could put the loop right on the null so I usually
didn't have a problem catching a ride!!
We were all young then and I suspect that a lot of the driving wouldn't have
stood up to inspection.  One very large, very angry police officer assured
us that if we ever came back to his **** town again, he'd personally put our
a**** in his ****ing jail and we'd sit there a long time.  Never went back!
Lot of good memories.
Pat, K9jau
