[PPRAANet] Next Fox Hunt: Sunday, November 27, 2005

[David Kurth]

Greetings all Fox Hunters and Any Interested Hunters:

The next fox hunt will be on Sunday afternoon,
November 27 starting at 1 PM from the Overlook in
Palmer Park.

Fox hunting (radio direction finding) can be a
challenge and very enjoyable at the same time.  The
simplest method of hunting requires only a handheld
receiver (no transmission or license required!) and
blocking the radio signal with your body.

For a small investment, you can build a beam antenna
and an attenuator which will help you converge on the
fox even quicker.

The following links have plans and directions to get
you going:

Come out and hunt or come out and tag along with one
of the experienced hunters and get some advise and
experience.
