Hone your skills at tracking down the location of the
hidden transmitter. It will require a bit of skill and will require
driving, so bring a designated driver to assist you with the challenging
activity. There will be a prize for the first contestant to locate the
hidden transmitter.
You can hunt the fox with your HT and a paper
clip. Hold the unit down close to your chest and pirouette around and
find the direction where the signal sounds the weakest. If the signal is
full quieting, de-tune the radio 5 or 10 kHz until some noise is heard
with the signal.
When you have found the direction of
weakest-sounding signal, the signal is coming from behind you. This is
the direction from which your body provides the most attenuation.
