Fox Hunting (Radio Direction Finding)

Radio direction finding (RDF), also known as "fox hunting," is a hobby where participants locate hidden radio transmitters using directional antennas and measuring signal strength. It's a fun and challenging activity that combines radio operation with navigation skills. The goal is to find the "fox," a low-power transmitter hidden within a designated area. 

As a club, we actively schedule multiple transmitter hunts during the summer and fall months. We announce the "fox" is loose on this page for a week, and we encourage everyone to showcase their skills in locating it.
