Complete the task listed in the message
More to come for how to set up the game
Play:
- Hams select a frequency and call Radio Treasure Hunt
- Responding stations well reply with the word number and the word that they have been provided.
- The two stations may both exchange words that each may have been given before the game started.
- Other stations monitoring the frequency may record the words as well.
- The first station to capture the entire 25 word message announces success on the club repeater.
- Game may proceed with a second message or potentially multiple messages in parallel.
Variants:
After X minutes of the game, participants may share with others parts of the message that they have heard but did not receive directly from the source. This allows team play were different team members collect different portions of the message on different frequencies.

These games were created by members of the W6HA Hughes Amateur Radio club. Our intent is to find additional ways for Ham operators to be inspired to use their license and equipment. Our goal is to make these attractively fun.
