FOXHUNT

 

 

Fear not, we are not literally hunting foxes. 

 

The "fox" is a low powered signal transmitter hidden within a defined area.  Hunters, armed with a portable radio and directional antenna, utilize various direction finding techniques to search for the source of the signal. 

Much like the traditional fox hunts of old, chaos and excitement are inevitable as "fox" hunters pit their skills and physical prowess against one another in an attempt to be the victor.
