Hunt Coordinator Instructions

One control area

Use My Hunts for assigned T-Hunts. Each Hunt card contains its details and current status, plus the controls appropriate to that status.

Open My Hunts

Create and maintain the Hunt

Create an Upcoming Hunt for an assigned transmitter.
Enter the schedule, signal information, area, boundaries, and Hunter notes.
Use the Hunt Control section to enter exact transmitter latitude and longitude manually. You may instead select Use Browser GPS (Optional) when convenient.
Save corrections whenever necessary. Browser Location Services are not required.

Remote operation

You may operate Hunt Manager from any appropriate location; you do not have to stand beside the transmitter.

Start Hunt records the website Hunt Start time. Start/Placement Comments appear in the green Find Results row.
Pause temporarily stops Find logging.
Resume returns the Hunt to Active.
End Hunt closes the Hunt and records its end. Separate End/Retrieval Comments appear in the red Find Results row; a blank entry uses the standard thank-you message.

Hunt Difficulty Rating uses Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, Challenging, or Extremely Challenging and appears in Hunt Status when recorded.

One-Active-Hunt-per-transmitter protection, authentication, Coordinator assignment, CSRF protection, and Administrator authority remain enforced.

Signup and Finds

Signup is voluntary. You and Administrators may see the signed-up Hunter names and Callsign/Hunter IDs, while the public sees only a count. Never require signup or a Hunter Start record before allowing someone to hunt.

Hunters establish their Found time by scanning the Find Logging QR Code. Hunt Difficulty, Favorite Point, and Comments are their only required answers. The optional post-Find Hunter Hunt Photo is not verification evidence and can be approved or deleted only by an Administrator.

After closure

Review the Closed Hunt Page. Its complete Hunt Log appears first, followed by general Hunt details, the revealed map when enabled, and appropriate approved photographs. Correct the stored transmitter coordinates if the post-Hunt map point needs adjustment.
