Results from the transmitter hunt of Sunday November 27th, 2005

  Six teams were at the start in Place Longueuil :
Michel VE2MBQ and his copilot Sylvain VE2SYQ

Jacques VA2JCK and his copilot Michel VA2MAA
Léo VE2LJL and his copilot Roch VE2DU
Sebastien VA2FUR
Jean VE2JMK and his copilot Marcel VE2GMR
Serge VE2HLS
The organizers : Denis VE2DTZ and Real VE2DSK
  The first transmitter located approximately 2 Km west of the the starting point, gave a strong signal.  The first 4 teams found the transmitter all at the same time.  In less than 20 minutes all the 6 teams had already found it.  The second transmitter on the other hand did give a very weak signal.  A small copy problem... hihi...
  Serge VE2HLS, the two teams of Michel VA2MAA, Jacques VA2JCK and Jean VE2JMK,  Marcel VE2GMR  arrived all at the same time at the second transmitter.  But where was  it ? Réal VE2DSK had inserted it in a yellow page telephone book, in the middle of a park close to route 132.  The 6 teams finished hunting around 10h00 it's a possible time record.
