Organize or participate in a fox hunt

In a fox hunt small transmitters are hidden and your goal is to find them using a directional antenna and a radio. Here is a project by our friend Harm, DK4HAA to get you started. It's originally in german but the link is to Google's translation of it. This is an especially fun challenge to do with kids!

For newcomers we have some receivers to hand out and at the end of the day we had 23 participants in two different categories. If you're interested let me know: We think about another activity this year – and of course we'll have a field-day-foxoring next year :). #hamchallenge #HC23S #ardf
