A "fox" is a small hidden radio transmitter.
Teams use radio direction finding receivers and directional antennas to locate it.
- It's part treasure hunt...
- part navigation exercise...
- and part radio challenge.
The fastest team to find the transmitter wins.
Youth members quickly learn how radio signals behave and how radio direction finding works while having lots of fun.
Youth members can:
- Talk to Scouts around Australia
- Talk internationally when conditions allow
- Learn how radio works
- Operate under the supervision of licensed operators
- Learn phonetics
- Learn callsigns
