 Henry-KF6PCE and Dave-KG6ACD, in-combination with MDARC (Mount Diablo Amateur Radio Club), hosted this Foxes Choice, mobile/walking transmitter hunt and barbeque. All fee's were pre-paid, all the hunters had to do was show-up. Thanks Henry and Dave.

My initial bearing of 355* was close enough to find the main Fox in Baldwin Park, Concord.
