Club Fox Hunts

As discussed at this month’s club meeting we are hoping to start up regularly scheduled fox hunts as a new club activity.

“Fox” (hidden transmitter) hunting is a fun activity and is a great introduction to amateur radio. Since it requires listening only and no transmitting for participants, it is the perfect opportunity to get someone you know that is interested in radio but hasn’t gotten licensed yet some hands on experience.

We are currently working on planning and hopefully can run some fox hunts at our upcoming summer field day activity to get everyone familiar with the process. In the meantime please see below for some information and links to helpful articles and videos that will let you learn more about this fun ham radio activity. Please feel free to comment and reach out if you have any questions or want to express your interest and be informed of planned future activities.
