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 — I WANT TO TAKE PART IN ONE, WHEN IS IT?

• March 2026 Fox Hunt

  A reminder that there will NOT be a Fox Hunt this March due to the advent of the Loomis HAMFest on the last Saturday of the month.  One could say the Fox Hunt this month will be finding the best deal on HAM equipment at the HAMFest!

  The next Fox Hunt will be the last Saturday of April immediately following the monthly Club breakfast.  Our Fox Tender for April will be Matt KO6IMP.  Thank you Matt!

  See you all in Loomis.
