WHAT IS A FOX HUNT?

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.

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).

I’M READY — WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE?

The next SFARC Fox Hunt will be on Saturday October 31, immediately following the club breakfast.

Two important changes to this month’s Fox Hunt.  The club breakfast in October will be at Awful Annies in Auburn.  Therefore, Awful Annies will be the site of both the Fox Hunt pre-meeting/briefing and the start of the Hunt.   And because Awful Annies does not open until later than previous breakfast sites, the pre-meeting will start 15 minutes later than in the past, will start at 9:15 AM.  The Fox Hunt will start at the usual time of 9:30 AM.

Our Fox Tender for October will be Frank KG9M.  Thank you Frank!
