Fox Hunt Information
Ok, now that we have your attention; we're not hunting foxes, we're hunting hidden transmitters. This is great fun and you don't need to be a licensed ham to join in.
The object of the game is to use a radio receiver to find a radio transmitter hidden somewhere on public property. Most any type of receiver with an antenna will work.
Sharpen you orientation and outdoors skills. With a directional antenna, such as a yagi, you can triangulate the location of the transmitter.
