back to 2025.10.18 JOTA foxhunt at Ingawanis

3 foxes are ready:




After getting the gear unloaded, the first order of business was getting the first few foxes set up. I've got
Fox-1 (the test beacon) to place by the shelter as the first easy-to-find transmitter, and it just got placed
against a tree wth a handful of pine needles dropped on top. Fox-1 transmits for 30 seconds, every minute.

Fox-3 was set up a short distance behind the shelter, behind a tree and with minimal cover. I ended up moving
it to a different location with better (but more obvious) cover after the first few groups spotted it from a
distance. Fox-3 transmits for 30 seconds every two minutes.

Fox-4 was the "challenge" fox, placed a short distance into a grassy field. With just a handful of grass over
the top, the box is almost impossible to see, even from a few feet away. Several of the groups found Fox-4
by stepping on / kicking it. I think they were just getting impatient since it was only transmitting for 30 sec
every five minutes. (I might change this timing to 20-30 second every three minutes)
