We had a great presentation on the transmitter hide-and-seek, direction finding version of fox hunting at the last LOCOARC meeting.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the winter months there is a QRP (low power) CW (morse code) version of fox hunts that take place on the 40 and 80 meter bands.
Stations are scheduled two at a time to act as the "fox". The "hounds" try to find them and make contact. Everyone uses 5 watts or less of transmitter power. That's about all there is to it. It is amazingly difficult and sometimes fun.
