Date: Sunday, 20th July 2008
Time: 8:30 am to 3:00 pm
Venue: Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur
Hunt Mode: On Foot

The best avenue to pit the skills of amateur radio enthusiasts, pushing creativity to the fore in aspects of antenna-building and navigational skills in fox-hunting.

Aimed at introducing the world of Amateur Radio to the community, this competition is open to everyone with the condition that one member in the team has a valid amateur radio license. What better way to get started in the HAM world than to step straight into the action!

Other attractions for the day include a refresher on Radio Communication Rules and Regulations by MCMC, the amateur radio equipment product briefing and sales booth by 9W2JAZ and One Communication Sdn Bhd, a 2-metre Net controlled by 9W2ISH and knowledge sharing session by 9M2DS & 9W2OBR, and technical assistance (equipment tuning, installation, servicing, checking, etc) by 9W2AA. It is also a good opportunity for SWLs and attendees to sign up as MARTS members as the Central Council members will also be doing a membership drive during the event.

Apart from that, there are exciting prizes to be won including for Best Designed Fox Hunting Equipment.

So, this is definitely an event NOT to be missed~!
