Monthly Fox Hunt
Location, Schedule, and Details: https://www.w6ek.org/activities/foxhunt#latest

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.

HELP SFARC

Our repeaters are ALWAYS free to use but not free to maintain. It takes a village, time, and money to keep the W6EK repeaters on the air. Think about helping SFARC by donating, every little bit helps and it’s tax deductible.

DONATIONS ARE MADE IN $10 INCREMENTS

Example:
QTY 1 = $10
