ARDF 80m 37:11 3.55 km (10:28 / km) +23m 10:08 / km
ahr:145 max:177
80m micro course set by Dick Arnett.
A lot of fun. I got the order right, and I rarely had to wait long for the transmitter to come on. I searched for 1 cycle at 5 (SW part of map), and I overshot 3, but not badly.
I think short courses like this are extremely valuable for developing quick decision making. Also, for beginners, it really makes you focus on finding the transmitter and not being lost. I hope the training camp has at least a few courses like this.
I couldn't find the frrequency immediately when I started, so I switched to 100kHz passband and then tone mode, except I didn't realize I was in tone mode for about 2 minutes. I should use it more---it is extremely useful and actually makes a lot of sense once you get used to it.
