Anyone can participate in Fox Hunts – No license is required! A fun family and pet-friendly event!
Meet after the SFARC Club Breakfast (7:30 am – Wings Restaurant) and sign your group in. If you have never done a fox hunt before, rusty or if you don’t have radio direction finder equipment, ask to ride along with an experienced Fox Hunter!
Need to borrow equipment? Reach out to Doug (W2VX), Greydon (KC6SLE) or Jon (KI6RT) on the W6EK 2m repeater. Tips for a successful hunt: A directional antenna and attenuation will come in handy for this fox hunt. After the hunt: When you locate the hidden transmitter, a notepad with finder’s log sheet will be visible and placed near-by. Sign and time stamp the finders log sheet. If hunters are still trying to find the fox transmitter at the 11:30 am transmitter turnoff time, the meeting location will be announced on 146.430 and on the W6EK 2-meter repeater. Good Luck!
First Place Prize will be given out after the hunt.
