On the evening of the UK referendum, four members turned out for the Summer
2m DF hunt. Although it had rained during Â*the day, the evening looked to
be better. Â*This year the Fox was Paul, G1GSN who started transmissions at
20:00 but couldnt be heard very well. After a few more tries the
transmissions improved and the hunters were off. Of course, the winner
would be the person who drove the shortest route to the fox and not the
first to arrive.

Martin, M6SCI assisted by Ian, G3ORG found the fox after having driven only
4 miles! The final tally showed that David, G8UOD had driven 5 miles and
Derek, M0DLM had driven 6.

It appears the initial problem with the transmissions was caused by the
dense and very wet foliage where Paul had parked up opposite the Southill
school.

The group retired to the Brewery Tap for discussions and a drink.
