This brings back memories of the old days of tracking hounds,with telemetry collars and a quick track receiver. Thank goodness for gps tracking.

Fox hunting can be a blast. I have done a lot with my kids when they were young. They had more fun than I did. Our Foxes were live aka other Hams.

[@hamradiotube]

Oh wow that sounds like a great time. Cool you had other hams be the foxes too!

When I was with the FAA at Sea-Tac, we used a similar set-up to find stuck mics on the Ground Control frequency on the airport...lots of vehicles had VHF rigs installed, to facilitate movement on the airport surface. Real-world example, and time was of the essence. Nice video, Mike! -- 73, Vic KB7GL

One of the best and simplest directional "antenna" I've found for fox hunting is a couple of juice or large soup cans with the bottom removed from one and taped end to end to make a long metal tube. drop your ht with or without the antenna as required into the cans. With a bit of practice it's more than sufficient and it's about as simple as you can get.

Breakfast at the Wind Jammer and a beer at the Green Lantern. Hope you bought a chainsaw sculpture. Love that place.

[@Dusty_Ham]

Fox hunting looks like so much fun! I'll have to see if I can do some sometime.

[@andrewkfhi4404]

[@mattquince6508]

It's a great time. The furs one the by e club did was at night. That's really hard!

[@billsmotrilla6215]

There are two nice smartphone apps for foxhunting that work with the GPS in your phone and allow you to point the phone and lay and save a bearing line on a live map. SigTrax, and FoxHunt Pro. With an in app purchase, you can save your bearings to a server that other members on your team can access so you can have a spread out group of people hunting bearings from all around the county. It really speeds up hunting, or for finding people causing interference on ham freqs.

Hi Mike, I've never been to a fox hunt, but have seen many on KZbin. Glad you had fun. That last one sitting on that post out in the open was a stubborn one. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U

[@hamradiotube]

It was really a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. And yeah, that last one sucked!

[@stevegriffin9552]

Pretty awesome Mike hunting transmitters in the fog look like he was having a lot of fun doing that too. Hey be careful and be safe. Thanks for the video. WD5ENH Steve

[@hamradiotube]

It was more fun than I would have thought. 10 out of 10, would do it again.

[@nativetexan9776]

Love fox hunts

[@MikeN2MAK]

Very cool. They should hide a PB Twix with the transmitter for whoever finds it first. Just a thought. LOL

[@hamradiotube]

Dude, I can’t find peanut butter Twix anywhere!! What happened to it?

[@MikeN2MAK]

[@W6IWN_Radio]

[@hamradiotube]

It really is!

[@Davidjb37721]

Thanks for your time

[@hamradiotube]

Thank you for yours and thanks for watching.

[@pasjeihobby]

Wow ! It looks really fun.

[@hamradiotube]

It was!

[@MarvinParnell]

the Baofeng pronunciation portion of this video was 🤣

[@hamradiotube]

[@lonewolfhamradio]

Great to see families out doing radio stuff, was this at a camp site or something?

[@hamradiotube]

It's actually a bunch of houses owned by the Navy. They rent them out for their service men and women really cheap. It's awesome.

[@lonewolfhamradio]

@@hamradiotube that’s what it is, I was looking at the houses with no gardens fences etc and couldn’t put my finger on what it reminded me of. I thought a crazy HOA at first and I was hoping for an encounter with the manager ! I’m going to see if any of my local clubs do foxhunting.

[@christophersmith1155]

very cool. one day, please show you viewers how to build a FOX.

[@hamradiotube]

If I knew how to build one, I sure would.

[@nerdgarage]

Question for everyone -- What's the smallest fox you've come across, who makes it, and do you think there would be any interest in a smaller fox product ?

[@mikemiles3068]

fun video 🎉👍

[@hamradiotube]

Thank you 🤗

[@don_n5skt]

K5RWK foxhunts every weekend all weekend.

[@thed8229]

Need more "increments"? Use a Tiny SA. I tried this out during our DF exposition for the BSA Jamboree on the air a few weeks ago. Worked like a champ. Fox Killa! 73 K0ATV

[@hamradiotube]

Good advise. I don't own one, but those look like a pretty cool tool to have in your arsenal. Lord knows I need another gadget!

[@1958johndeere620]

I enjoyed a nice Pepsi while watching. Better than any Coke crap.
