Description    Deutsch  ·  English

This cache deals with an interesting - but usually not well known  - hobby,  amateur radio - often mistaken with the CB radio or also "Jedermannfunk". The cache is dedicated to the 50-year-old existence of amateur radio association in Neuss. Aim with this cache is to inspire radio hams - particularly youngsters - for geocaching on the one hand and to interest, on the other hand, geocachers for the possibilities of amateur radio. A connection according to radio between both hobbies already exists for longer times: the so-called "geofoxing". You can find information about this in the net.All answers to the put questions can be answered also on Internet: one must surf on the website of the amateur radio association.

Project "HZehn" cnt'd. Today I took the bike around the NW to NW end of my take zone, cleaning whole areas as much as possible. While I seemed to tire early, I managed to stay in the saddle for 12h, making 48 finds and one DNF. The weather remained brilliant, albeit a little on the windy side. I didn't seem in top form today, so finding quite a few caches took me longer than strictly necessary, but at least I persevered and, with that one exception, always prevailed.

I found this mystery surprisingly difficult to research as the website didn't reveal the relevant information that easily. In the end my pigheadedness overcame these odds and I got good coords. Outdoors, locating the cache box was straightforward.

Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse"
