Recent Malacca Fox Hunt

THis is from the Musang...

" Hi fellow hunters ...

The recent Malacca Fox Hunt held at "Taman Rekreasi Ayer Keroh, Malacca" was a great success!
Congratulations to the Malacca organisers, helpers and participants in making this event a reality.

To make it more exciting, new items were introduced into the local (Malacca) scene.
Like ...
1. Linear Run direction ... The "Start" and "Finish" no longer be at the same place.
2. Electronic Tagging ... Trial run using electronic tagging so that we can find out the time of arrival at each beacon.
3. Homing beacon ... This beacon transmits on separate frequency to guide hunters to the "Finish" line.
4. Staggered batch release at "Start" point.
5. Horizontal polarisation ... Use of Turnstile antennas.

Even with these introductions, we are still far from the international ARDF expectations BUT we are getting there.
We need to share our know-how, in order to further improve ARDF activities in the local scene and introduce it to
the others. ( Hope hams know how to communicate! )
