SFARC Monthly Fox Hunt
Location, Schedule, and Details: https://www.w6ek.org/activities/foxhunt#latest

SFARC runs monthly Fox Hunts where members hone skills in locating hidden transmitters. Fox Hunting skills are not only fun but may be useful in situations where a transmitter needs to be located (e.g. search & rescue or tracking down interference).

Fox Hunts are a fun outdoor activity. Regional hunts may involve driving around and taking bearings with a Yagi to triangulate on a hidden transmitter. Low-power hunts may involve walking through parks  & neighborhoods to find one or more hidden transmitters. Fox hunt equipment ranges from simple TOA (time of arrival) devices, yagi antennas, and or doppler techniques.

Watts Up This Week

Hot RF Nights Update

For those in attendance last night, thank you for the overwhelming support of Hot RF Nights. For those not in attendance of last nights meeting, me and Greydon presented a shortfall in our budget to fund Hot RF Nights this year.

Next Meeting At A Glance

  • Our next club meeting will take place on May 9 at 7:30 PM at the Confluence Church Gym in Auburn, California and on Zoom at zoom.w6ek.org.

Smitty (WB1G) has an excellent presentation on how to store, preserve, and ultimately retrieve important data so you’re left with peace of mind in case emergencies arise. Come join us and learn all about how you can take control of your digital assets and make sure it’s all there when you need it!
