ROCKINGHAM -- The February monthly meeting of the Richmond County Amateur
Radio Club welcomed a guest speaker, Rusty George of Cheraw, a member of
the South Carolina Palmetto Amateur Linking System. George provided rules
and regulations pertaining to a possible future participation in what the
amateur radio operators would call a "fox hunt." Using hand-held radios,
antennae setups and a number of competing two-party teams considered
the "hounds," the ultimate goal would be for the hounds to find a two-party
team with a hidden transmitter, the "fox." Not only would this be used as a
fun activity for the club to pursue, but would also serve as a learning
tool for searching transmissions on a network.
