Hook up with a team. See if one or 2 people can bring you. I already have 2 others on my team. Most teams are 1-3 people.

Subject: [GCARC] Advice for this Sunday's Fox Hunt

Good morning all,



I am going to attempt my first Fox Hunt tomorrow and I'm looking for a
little advice.



I am new to Ham Radio, and about the only thing I really know is that I
don't know much. I am however enjoying learning more about it.



First of all, all I have to use at this time is a Baofeng HT. Will that even
work, or am I just wasting my time?



I was able to borrow an old 2-Meter Yagi antenna from a friend. I know it
works, because I was able to hit our repeater in Pitman from home, which I
can never do with the rubber duck antenna it came with.



Will I be able to hear the changes in the signal strength or do I need a
better radio with a built-in S-Meter?



I really want to give it a try, but I also don't want to fail miserably and
get discouraged.



Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you,





Len Rust

W2LJR
