Transmitter Hunting by Tom (KB7HTA)

Be Part Of The Hidden
Transmitter Hunt
March 21

Time: 8:30 AM PT
Location: Centennial Hills Park

The hunt will start at 9AM. Donuts and coffee will be available so please try to arrive around 8:30 or so to enjoy coffee & donuts with your Ham Radio friends.

Centennial Hills Park (formerly known as Deer Springs Park) at 7101 North Buffalo Drive is the location.

Basically the park is on the northeast corner of the junction of the 95 and 215 freeways. Enter the park at the entrance on N. Buffalo Dr at the junction with Dear Springs Way.

The hunt start location is indicated by the black arrow on the park map.

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.
