Registration at the BOK Store

For more information about Radio-O/ARDF, see the BOK ARDF page. Starts 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The course closes at 3:00 PM. Parking fills up fast at the Eno River State Park; so come early or be prepared to walk a bit.
Directors: Patrick & Kelly

The social distancing and other COVID-19 precautions apply. See the BOK webpage describing how COVID-19 affects our events.

The registration is near the parking area just north of the restrooms.

The whole course will be on the West side of the river, and, of course there is no running on the bridge. When approaching the bridge, please stay back from the end until others are done crossing.

Notes about the course. The homing beacon is the finish. There is only one control to punch at the homing beacon and it is the finish. There is no finish shoot. For those who are bringing their own receivers, foxes will be on 3.52 MHz, homing beacon on 3.59 MHz. There is a 300 exclusion zone around the start and around each control, that is you won’t find another control within this distance.

Courses. There is no need to sign up for a particular course. Everyone gets the same map.

We had perfect weather for our event. The hailstorm waited until Charles had collected all the transmitters, and just crossed the bridge. Needless to say he was pretty soggy by the time he got to the car. Thank you Charles for setting up a very good course. Several people had some of their best runs. […]

It was cold and windy, but the sun was out so we could pretend it was warmer. Charles set an excellent course – it even required map reading – which isn’t easy at Dix. Some people did both the short and long course. The short course was a subset of the long course. An asterisk […]
