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?

• SFARC Saturday July 25, 2026 FOX Hunt

  The next SFARC Fox Hunt will be on Saturday July 25.  The Fox Hunt will be following the monthly Club breakfast at Wings Restaurant Auburn Airport.

  Our Fox Tenders for July will be John KO6COW and his son Jayden W6EFM. Thanks to both John and Jayden.

  The pre-meeting for the Fox Hunt will be in the Wings parking lot starting at 9:00 AM.  The Fox Hunt itself usually starts at 9:30 AM and ends at 11:30 AM.

  Other details such as frequencies for the event, transmitter power, general Hunt boundaries, post-meeting locations, etc. will be given out at the pre-meeting.

  We have not had a Fox Hunt for a few months, looking forward for a good turn out and as always, a lot of fun.

  See you there and 73.
