Description

From the day the first man made radio waves were received by amateur radio operators around the world, the question arose, "Where are these coming from?"
Not a lot has changed from those early years except the tools we have today to answer this ancient question. In many situations it's a life and death matter but to most hams it's an opportunity to use their radios and build skills in a sporting atmosphere and to make it even more family friendly, you don't even need a license to take part. Wives and kids love the sport of the hunt.
In today's presentation we will cover all aspects of this growing world wide sport including history, antennas, radios, techniques and some really fun ways others have cleverly hidden their "Fox Boxes" to challenge the hunters. And to make it even more interesting, we will show you how to build your own world class fox hunting antenna system for less than fifty dollars!
