April Fox Hunt

There will be a Fox hunt this Saturday, April 26.  The Fox Tenders for this month will be John KO6COW and his son.  Thank you to both.

The Fox Hunt pre-meeting will be in the parking lot of Mel’s, 9:00 AM, immediately following the monthly cub breakfast. The Fox Hunt itself will start at around 9:45 AM and end at 11:45 AM.  The Fox Hunt call-in frequency will be 146.550 mHz.

The Hunt will be south of Mel’s and north of Indian Hill Road.  The Fox transmitter will be 146.535 mHz running at 20 mW.

Come one, come all.  Bring the family.

73, Greydon KX6SLE

FOX HUNT (MAIN BODY)

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.
