The NCRC Open Fox Hunt has finished at Beavertail. A total of FIVE hidden transmitters were placed throughout the park. Multiple teams of hunters braved brambles and cool sea breezes to find the Foxes. From setup to takedown, the event took about 4 hours.

Congratulations to Paul, N1PSX, and Steve, KC1AQQ, who finished with the best score.

Many thanks to Jim, KA1ZOU, for organizing the event and to all those who participated.
