One hidden transmitter, 146.565 MHz.

The hider; Johnathan-AE6HO and Nicholas-KG6MYQ
The winner was; None
I did not take an initial bearing
however, I did use the other hunter's bearings to determine the Fox was
south of my location. I figured I would just use my Doppler to find the
Fox - Transmitter.
