My name is Dan Meyer. My call is NØPUF. I am Arapahoe County Colorado D-22 Operations Officer for ARES. I volunteer for many non-profit organizations as a radio opreator. I have also been trained and been involved with the CERT program. I participate in the monthly Denver-Metro area "fox hunts". I also help track down interference on the HAM frequencies. I do the hunts to stay sharp for tracking down the interferers. I have sucessfully tracked (Usually with the help of the other monthly hunters) several problems on the Ham bands.

It you have ever wondered about foxhunting, please join us during the HAMCON convention for 2009! There will be practice sessions on Saturday and a real hunt on Sunday. Bring a hand held 2 meter yagi, an HT and an attenuator. We will have some equipment to loan on a first come basis. Please visit Larry Benkos' (WØQE) web site http://www.bnk.com/WØQE/ for more on foxhunting and join him for his forum during the convention to learn and ask questions.
