A “Tune-Up In the Park” Fox Hunting exercise will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024.  Whether you are just beginning to be interested in fox hunting or you are a seasoned veteran, plan on being at Douglas Walker Park from 9 am to 12 noon.  There will be at least five micro-transmitters hidden in the park for you to take your time locating, practicing your skills, and debugging your equipment.  At noon, the park activity will stop, and a live “fox” will go on the air, located within eight miles of the start.

There will be experienced fox hunters to help with your equipment and techniques.  If you have a fox box or a micro/mini fox and would like to bring it to the park to be used, please contact the event coordinator, Tom Bosscher, K8TB at .  

Douglas Walker Park is on 84th Street, 1.5 miles west of US-131 exit 74, Byron Center.

Please note that the park grounds are very wet from the winter snow, and rather sloppy. Use appropriate  footwear accordingly.

Our meetings are on the first Friday of the month at 7pm. Most people start showing up at 6:30am to socialize.

Our meeting are at the Life EMS Education Centre (1050 Fuller Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503). The meeting will be in the basement in classroom across from the stairs.

Hope to see you there!

If the weather holds, we will be climbing the tower this Saturday November 4th at 2pm. Come out and help us out. We need a good amount of ground crew and the work isn’t too hard.

Our Wednesday Radio Room is open from 4-7pm.

Our Sunday Radio Room is open from 1-4pm.

You can find it at 1050 Fuller Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. There is a stairwell on the north side right next to our antenna tower, that is the entrance we use for the building.
