What is a Fox Hunt?
For the uninitiated, a fox hunt is a friendly competition that tests your radio direction-finding skills. Participants will use their own radio equipment to track down ‘Tonka, the MHR transmitter, or “fox.” It’s a blend of strategy, radio knowledge, and outdoor fun. While it’s recommended to have a directional antenna with an attenuator, attendees can use a simple HT radio and various techniques to hone in on ‘Tonka the fox.
