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.

March SFARC Fox Hunt
With less than a week to go before this Saturday March 29, we do not have a Fox Tender for the March SFARC Fox Hunt. Perhaps people are still recovering from last Saturday’s HAMfest.
Doug W2VX and I discussed this situation today. We decided the best option at this late date is to cancel the March 29 SFARC Fox Hunt and start preparing for the April Fox Hunt.
Again, the March SFARC Fox Hunt has been cancelled.
John KO6COW and his son Jayden W6EFM will be the Fox Tenders for the April 26 SFARC Fox Hunt. Thank you, John and Jayden.
