Mt Hood Beacon Basin

Just got this today from someone who was out practicing:


Burials are all about 1.4 meters which is even better practice.
It seemed like #6 wasn't working. I switched it on alone and never could pick up a signal. I could pick up all the others from the box when switched on one at a time.
Just an FYI. The other 10 are plenty to play with.

So with all the fresh snow, if you're wanting some practice time come check out the basin.

Remember you need to bring 6 c batteries.

I just wanted to bump this thread and let it be known that thanks to Corvalis Mtn Resue the Mazama beacon basin is now operational.

Jerry buried the beacons in about 2 feet of snow and we had about 6-8 inches fall over the weekend so until we get more snow watch out for wires in the snow!

Remember to bring 6 C cell batteries and please don't leave them in the control box.

Oh yeah, this year Jerry positioned the beacons as they are listed on the powerpoint slides. (i.e. skewed, verticle, horizontal)

So get out there and practice:
