Event Details:
The transmitter will be a hidden VHF transmitter, transmitting between 144 to 146 MHz on a single fixed Frequency.
-
The frequency will be declared on the day of the event.
-
Participants will hunt the transmitter, while on foot, through hilly / wooded terrain.
When they spot the hidden transmitter, they must quietly pick up an envelope without being too obvious, so as not to alert the other participants/competitors near the transmitter and bring it back to the Event Control Station.
The total time given for hunting the Fox Transmitter, will be approx. 3 hours.
To ensure fair play and resolve any disputes, the decision of the organizers will be final. A neutral referee may also be appointed by the organizers to resolve disputes.
What you need:
- A VHF Handy / receiver with an S meter display (for signal strength) is all that is really required.
- (Optional) A DF antenna is a big advantage and is very simple to homebrew.
- (Optional) Earphones / Headphones for your Handy.
- (Optional) Any other DF tracking device is also allowed.
- (Recommended) Cap
- (Optional) Sunglasses
Free DF Antenna Workshop:
We will be conducting a FREE workshop on building your own DF Antenna in the coming weeks. The antenna chosen for homebrewing is the Steel Measure Tape - Yagi antenna. More later.
