Scope: Antenna Builds, attenuator build, and related builds. We can work in teams.
Date: May 28th, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: BARC Club House
Important needs:
- Looking for a few low cost HDs that we could borrow radio or allow us to have it if you are of no use for it. Please let me know if you have one available
- (4) 5 1/2 inch of solid copper wire ( 12 or 14 insulated wire). Strip some regular conduit wire (possible source)
- We may need a hacksaw . If you can bring one let me know.
We plan to build the following:
- Tape Measure Yagi
- Fox Hunt Offset Attenuator Kits (Kits already received), You can order a kit and build it if you like one for your personal use. He ships quickly
- ARDF transmitters with low power output and operate 2m (May build for fun, Bob Frye is loaning us some)
Some Reading Material:
The build event output will be used for a Field Day event and possible future events
All are welcome. It should be a fun project. We will discuss, build and test the components needed to do Fox & Hound event at field day. If there is enough interest, we will plan a follow-up event. This is a great Tech Night for New License to join.
We will also have a few demos as time permits.
- FOX Hunt OFFSET Manual
- Q&A on Fox Hunting and the Offset Attenuator
- Build Tape Measure Antenna
- Arduino based unit to key an HT and identify in CW using audio tones
