Mark KD4IMA shares how he has been "Fox Hunting" his entire career with Fish and Wildlife. Fox Hunting is a common term for a direction-finding activity done by radio amateurs. Mark used similar techniques to track all kinds of fish and wildlife. This Beginner's Academy Talk was recorded on Feb 21st, 2022.
Tune in for a description of the similarities between amateur radio direction finding “fox hunts” and how wildlife biologists track wild animals. You’ll be surprised to know whooooo is on the air. Mark Cantrell KD4IMA will present. Mark is a Fish and Wildlife professional. Don't miss this one!
