GET READY for T-HUNT

ON-FOOT (FOX)/TRANSMITTER HUNT & BBQ

Saturday May 16th, 2026, KEARNY MESA COMMUNITY PARK, San Diego, CA.

Sponsored by the San Diego T-Hunt Group

If you have heard about Fox-Hunting/T-Hunting, this is a great opportunity to learn more about what really happens in the 2-meter transmitter hunting world. This event is FREE, just bring BBQ Donation money if staying for BBQ. There will be 5 hidden "T's" somewhere in the park. This is a flat, fun, and easy course and there will be experienced hams present to demonstrate hunting techniques for those that want to learn about Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) or, "On-Foot Fox Hunting." There will be some Practice "T's" to experiment with before you start the course. You do not need a Ham Radio License to participate. limited ARDF equipment will be available for practice and possibly to use for hunting for those that do not have small 2-M beams. Bring a connector to go from your HT antenna connector to a BNC cable (Chinese HT's not recommended but can be used.) You will be issued a map of the area with major features delineated and printed instructions as to how to identify the unique transmitted audio corresponding to each of the 5 hidden transmitters. A clipboard, compass and pencil may be handy for plotting bearings. Starting times will be 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM at 5-minute intervals. If you start at 1:30 you will have until 3:00 to complete the course. You will be issued a "punch Card" and there will be orange & white flagging tape at each punch located close to the hidden "T's". Antennas will all be vertically polarized with approximately the same radiated power from each "T'. For information on International Style T-Hunts you may go to Joe Moell's, (K0OV) website www.homingin.com. Check weather and dress appropriately. There are several restrooms in the park area.

A BBQ is planned starting 2-2:30 for those interested who would like to hang around, socialize and “Talk Radio”. We will have burgers & hot dogs, buns, condiments, potato salad, drinks, cookies, chips and salsa. Bring a chair as seating is limited! BBQ donations can be made on site.
