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
