On this date after the regularly scheduled club meeting, we worked on a Fox Hunt. This event has the leader hide a radio somewhere within a 3 mile radius of the starting point and club members use directional antennas from multiple locations try to find the fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting just outside of El Nuevo Mexico restaurant we took readings to determine our first fix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Mike, Michael and Trent brought home made tape measure antennas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One radio used was the Yaesu FT-60 handy talkie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We met at Buckies to measure our second fix. Here is Michael getting one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
For members using paper maps, a protractor is used to plot each measured direction to hopefully get a line crossed with the first fix and hoping that that cross is where the fox is.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This time the FOX (the camo box in Mike’s hands) was hiding in Bob Bryant park in the tree shown behind Mike.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the crew that made it to the end of the hunt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
