The next T-Hunt, September 26th, will be hosted by Ron, KJ7PAQ at Lone Mountain Regional Park 9825 W. Lone Mountain Rd.

The park is just a bit east of the 215 freeway and on the south side of the road. Enter the west end of the parking lot from Lone Mountain Rd. At the west end of the parking lot is a walking trail that goes between the basketball courts and the rest rooms. The first gazebo you come to will be the Hunt start location.

We encourage people with older kids and/or grandchildren to bring them along to peak their interest in Ham radio; there is a play area nearby as an added incentive. We will meet at 8:30 am for coffee, doughnuts, cold water and conversation; the hunt starts at 9:00 am.

Please join in on the fun!

General Information

Las Vegas Transmitter Hunters get together on the 3rd Saturday of every month at a local park for a non-sponsored transmitter hunt (T-Hunt). The T-Hunts are conducted alternately by Ron, KJ7PAQ and Tom, KB7HTA. The entire T-Hunt takes place at a park and other than driving to and from the park; there is no driving involved, all on foot. The transmitter(s) are hidden somewhere within the bounds of the park, and it is left to the hunters using what ever equipment they may have available to track them down. The T-Hunt starts promptly at 9 am, so you may want to get there around 8:30 am, enjoy some coffee and doughnuts, and prepare for the hunt. The winner is determined by how long it takes a hunter to return to the starting point with photo(s) of the transmitter(s) or code(s). If there is more than one transmitter, they may be tracked/found in any order. The frequencies are 146.565 (T0), 146.575 (T1), 146.585 (T2) and 146.595 (T3). About a week before the T-Hunt, additional information about the hunt will be posted here, such as the name of the park, updated start time and a map with the meeting location.
