Hidden Transmitter Hunt Hidden Transmitter Hunt
–
May 16, 2026For the Transmitter Hunt on May 16 we will be going back to Craig Ranch Regional Park at 628 W Craig Road.
Enter the park from the East entrance off of N Commerce St. Turn right when entering the parking lot.
The start location is the large shelter near the northwest corner of the parking lot. Same start location as the last time we were here but of course the transmitter will be hidden in a different spot.
Hope you can join in on the fun. All you need to participate is a VHF HT. The hunt is easy, it’s just a walk in the park. We are looking to find out who can find the transmitter first.
