USA's national ARDF championships will return to the northeast this 
year.  Radio-orienteers of all skill levels will gather in Boston, 
Massachusetts for four days of intense competition on the first weekend 
of June.  The events will be open to any fan of on-foot hidden 
transmitter hunting, with or without a ham license.  Visiting 
competitors from outside USA are welcome.

Classic five-transmitter competitions will take place on June 7-8, two 
meters on Saturday and 80 meters on Sunday.  Prior to that will be 
optional competitions in sprints and foxoring on June 5-6.

Organizing and hosting these championships will be Vadim Afonkin 
KB1RLI, one of USA's most accomplished radio-orienteers.  He will be 
assisted by members of Cambridge Sports Union.  Winners of the 2014 USA 
championships will be under consideration for membership in ARDF Team 
USA, which will travel to the mountains of Kazakhstan for the 17th ARDF 
World Championships in September.

Registration is now open, with a deadline of May 1.  Go to the Boston
