May 2026 Club Meeting – Fox Hunting 101
By Joe Domaleski (KI4ASK) and Mary Catharine Domaleski (KI4HHI)
Meeting Date: Thursday, May 28th, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM EDT
Location: Fayette County Emergency Operations Center
110 Volunteer Way, Fayetteville, GA
Presentation Overview
Fox hunting, also known as amateur radio direction finding, is part scavenger hunt, part orienteering, and part radio skill-building. In this practical introductory session, Joe and Mary Catherine will explain how fox hunting works, why it is a fun outdoor activity for hams and non-hams alike, and how it builds useful skills for public service, emergency communications, and locating interference. The presentation will cover basic equipment, including radios, antennas, and attenuators, along with a simple three-step approach to finding a hidden transmitter: finding the signal, triangulating the source, and closing in on the fox.
