Notes:

1. Juniors are age 18 and under. Old Timers are age 40 and above. Seniors are usually 18 to 40, but anyone may choose to compete in the Senior division.

2. There were so many USA entrants in the Old Timer division that two teams were formed, USA-North and USA-South

3. In international competitions, Old Timers, Juniors and Women are required to find only four foxes. Seniors must find all five.

In accordance with international rules, Team USA and Team Canada competed for Region 2 medals. All other countries competed for Visitor medals.

Visitor countries:   AUS = Australia
  BUL = Bulgaria
  JAP = Japan
  KAZ = Kazakhstan
  RUS = Russia
  SWD = Sweden


Medal

Motorola was the biggest corporate sponsor of the event, providing medals for the winners and T-shirts for all attendees.


Hat logo

Bob Frey WA6EZV designed hats with this logo for Team USA members to wear.


Competitor card

Each competitor carried a card like this to punch at each fox transmitter. This one was used by Bob Cooley KF6VSE. Since he was in the Old Timer division, he didn't have to find fox #5. As you can see, he found all the others.


Opening ceremony

Newly appointed IARU Region 2 ARDF Coordinator Joe Moell KØOV was one of the speakers at the gala opening ceremonies. Click below for KØOV's photos of this ceremony and the rest of the Championships. (This photo by Bud Larson W7LNG.)
