ARDF Championships Coming to a Scout Camp in Colorado

摘要

Scouting and amateur radio - what a great combination. Untold numbers of new and old hams first learned about amateur radio from Scout leaders. In your father's time, the introduction may have been through QRP contacts on the HF bands at a wilderness campsite. Nowadays it's more high-tech, as Scouts and their leaders coordinate mirror flash experiments between moun-taintops using VHF simplex or repeaters. There is another amateur radio activity that is perfect for Scouts: Hidden transmitter hunting, often referred to as foxhunting. It builds and reinforces basic wilderness skills. It's a technical challenge and it improves fitness while providing a source of intrigue and adventure.
