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
