This is the invite and sign-up for the OVMRC Eyeball QSO and Picnic with optional POTA activation and Foxhunt, to take place from 9.30 am to 2 pm on Saturday 26th August 2023 at Rockcliffe Park in Ottawa.

***   It's a POTA Picnic in the Park with purposefully placed foxes for your puzzling pleasure!   ***

Meet on the grassy area behind the Pavillion.  Since the Pavillion parking area is small and likely full, recommended parking is at P1, further along the Rockcliffe Driveway (the road through the park).  It's about a 5 minute walk back to the Pavillion area.

What? - Eyeball QSO and social with picnic, POTA and foxhunt
When? - Saturday 26th August 2023, 9.30 am - 2 pm (09.30 - 14.00 EDT)
Where? - Rockcliffe Park (close to the pavillion)
