Fox Hunt at MHCC Campus –

      The next East County Fox Hunt will be Saturday January 17th, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Mt. Hood Community College. We will start at the Fisheries Building #22 West parking lot located at the North end of the campus.

     Several low power VHF (2 Meter) transmitters will be hidden on the MHCC campus with a QR code near the hidden transmitter for logging purposes. Simply scan the QR code with your phone’s camera and log that you found the transmitter.  Enter your name, callsign, date, time and email if I don’t already have it. There is no need to find the transmitter or antenna, just the QR code. You can also leave a comment or feedback to help with future hunts.
