As you may have heard on Newsline, the big fire near Lake Tahoe did not put an end to plans for this year's USA Championships of on-foot transmitter hunting. Registration is now open and the deadline for "early bird" savings has been extended until July 31.
The championships will take place September 14 - 16, 2007. Headquarters will be at Camp Concord in the El Dorado National Forest, near Mount Tallac. An inexpensive package including two nights of lodging in the rustic cabins and five group meals is being offered to event registrants. Camp Concord is fully accredited by the American Camping Association.
The competition courses will be in the same forests where the United States Orienteering Federation held its 2003 national championships of classic orienteering. The maps are excellent. The forest area is open again after the June wildfire, and only minor changes to the course areas have been necessary.
South Lake Tahoe is 35 miles from Carson City, Nevada, 64 miles from Reno, Nevada and 117 miles from Sacramento, California. The best radio-orienteers in the USA will be there, but the courses will also be open to anyone at any radio foxhunting skill level, with or without a ham radio license.
ARDF Championships are for individuals only. No teaming or assistance on the course is permitted. Participants are divided into five age categories for males and four age categories for females in accordance with standard IARU rules. Medals for first, second and third places will be awarded in each category on each band.
Even if you have never competed in an ARDF event before, you will be welcomed at the USA Championships. USA's best foxtailers are expected to attend, and they are always helpful to newcomers. To provide even more learning opportunities, an optional ARDF training camp will take place nearby on September 12 and 13.
The registration form and more information is at <www.homingin.com> along with a photo page of Camp Concord.
Please pass this announcement on to local transmitter hunters and ham clubs. See you there!
