Overall GPS track Map to fox #1 and #2		The second annual combined PLEASANTON mobile and Mt.Diablo Amateur Radio Club (MDARC) walking hunt was a great success. Thanks to Dave-KG6ACD for paying all entry fees to MDARC and for MDARC providing a barbeque, food and drinks to all hunters. The hunt started out at the Pleasanton Start Point, we were to find Fox #1, then locate Fox #2, which was our "Guide-in" beacon to Baldwin Park and the picnic.
1st Fox transmitter	2nd Transmitter at Baldwin Park
1st transmitter 110359.jpg	1st transmitter 110409.jpg	The 1st transmitter was hidden in the back yard of a house. I didn't know I was suppose to just locate the balloons and then move on. We continued to hunted and located the transmitter on private property. Oops, we upset a neighbor, who stopped us and asked a bunch of questions.
Baldwin Park Concord, CA.		Fox transmitter #2 guided us to Baldwin Park, for part two of Henry's two part t-hunt.
Mt.Diablo Amateur Radio Club	MDARC
2nd transmitter Guide-In	Transmitter Hunting Group	Once at Baldwin Park, Henry-KF6PCE, Joan-KF6QGK and Bill-KF6QGK set up 13-small transmitters for us to find in the park. 6-frequencies were used, many were on the same channel, transmitting 1-minute on and 5-minutes off. Henry also planted 5-decoy's, 3-empty transmitter boxes, 1-fake pine cone and 1-fake bird. (I found all five decoy's, which subtracted from my totals).
MDARC Barbecue Group	Dave-KG6ACD	Pictured here are some MDARC members, preparing food and cooking food for us.
Cup Transmitter	Cup transmitter revealed	To the left is a photo of a miniature transmitter hidden in the lining of a cup holding pencils. The next photo shows the miniature transmitter removed from the cup lining.
Hamburger Transmitter	Hamburger Transmitter revealed	These next two photos shows a miniature transmitter hidden in a real hamburger. I thought the transmitter was in the AM/FM radio. Minus one point for selecting a decoy.
Decoy Transmitter	Real Brick Transmitter	Here, Henry placed a decoy transmitter next to a back yard fence. You guessed it, I selected wrong again, minus another point. The real transmitter was in a brick, next to the fence.
Back Yard Tree Transmitter		Transmitter hidden in somebody's back yard tree.
Decoy	Camouflaged transmitter	The far left photo shows a decoy transmitter box hidden in a tree. The right photo shows a real transmitter, camouflaged in a small zip bag, thumb tacked to a pine needle, next to the decoy.
Decoy	Camouflaged Transmitter	Again, a dummy decoy transmitter, stuffed up inside the eve of a buildings roof. Next to it, in a tree limb, the real transmitter, camouflaged in small zip bag, thumb tacked to a leaf.
Another Tree Transmitter		A real transmitter (in a tree), without decoys.
Bird Decoy	Camouflaged Transmitter	Oh boy, another decoy. I saw this bird last year but, it had a transmitter in it. The real transmitter was thumb tacked to a juniper bush, in a camouflaged zip bag.
Light Transmitter	Bumper Transmitter	Two real transmitters, one in a sidewalk light fixture and the other hidden in the bumper of a car, parked in the parking lot. By the way, Henry planted other light fixtures so we would think the property owners intended the sidewalks to be lighted.
Hidden Transmitter Rock	Transmitter Rock	Hidden rock transmitter, behind a fence in a new construction area. The second photo shows Johnathan-AE6HO holding the transmitter rock.
Decoy Pine Cone & Real transmitter		Decoy pine cone transmitter. Your right again, I selected it as the transmitter. Just to the right of the pine cone, you can see the real transmitter.
Tree Transmitter	Closeup	Another tree transmitter.
Winner, Paul Shinn	2nd place, Johnathan and Nicholas.	Winner of the Foot T-Hunt, Paul Shinn. Second place goes to Johnathan-AE6HO and Nicholas. This was not an easy hunt. Not only was Henry TRICKY, with all his disguised transmitters and decoys but, 13 transmitters on 6 different frequencies, transmitting 1-minute on and 5 minutes off. Jim Sakane (KD6DX)
