T-Hunting -- It's Not Just For Speedy Drivers Any More

On August 13, at 7:30 PM, Joe Moell K0OV presented an very educational program called T- Hunting.

Nowadays, a transmitter hunt is much more than just a ride in an RDF-equipped car.  It can also be an exciting outdoor activity for everyone in the family.

Find out about the wide variety of ways that you, your family and your club can have fun with RDF.  Learn about mobile T-hunting, radio-orienteering, ARDF and ROCAs. You may already have all the equipment you need to get started. You'll also hear about local hams who won medals at two international championship foxhunts in the past year.
