Ham radio fox hunt is a skill-testing activity where ham radio operators (hounds) use directional-finding techniques to locate hidden transmitters (foxes) placed by fellow operators. These hunts, organized by amateur radio organizations, enhance direction-finding abilities and foster community involvement. By utilizing various equipment and techniques, participants navigate through diverse environments, such as forests or urban areas, to locate the foxes, contributing to amateur radio’s role in emergency preparedness and search-and-rescue operations.
