Fox hunt this Saturday, August 13th @ 10 am!

Please join us as we hunt for a hidden transmitter, the “fox”.  We will meet at 8 am at Grits n’ Greens in Lowell for fellowship and breakfast.  You do not have to attend breakfast to participate in the fox hunt!

The “fox” (NC0G) will begin transmitting at 10 am on 146.535 from anywhere in Gaston County on public property. Our wonderful president, KV4WB, has a Tony’s Gift Certificate for the winner!

Let’s have fun together and enjoy the ham radio hobby! We hope to see you Saturday!  – Chantel, KM4LWL
