Dan (N7XDL) gave us a brief introduction to "Fox Hunts" or radio direction finding. Our neighboring Taylorsville Amateur Radio Club has been doing fox hunts on the second Saturday of each month for the last couple of months. They have invited us to participate with them this month.
Dan will continue his lesson next week with more detailed information on using directional antennae to track down a hidden transmitter.
A copy of the presentation is included here. Check it out as it includes instructions for building your own "tape measure yagi," a simple directional antenna.
