What is Foxhunting?

Foxhunting (also known as ARDF – Amateur Radio Direction Finding) is like a modern scavenger hunt using radio signals. A hidden transmitter ("fox") emits short signals at regular intervals. Participants use directional antennas and receivers to locate the signal source in the field. It's a perfect mix of outdoor fun and radio tech!
