What is Fox Hunting?
Fox hunting is the act of using direction finding methods to locate and triangulate the position of a hidden transmitter. These transmitters will be hidden around the city and you will have to use your direction finding skills to locate it for points. The frequency of the primary fox will be posted and announced ahead of time. When the event starts, the fox will become active and begin emitting some kind of beacon signal for you to locate. Once you find the first fox, it may lead you to other foxes or locations. This is a fun but challenging event.
