We will start fox hunting after it cools down a little in the 445 part of the band. You need to watch the post by KD6UMU above to get a lot of good ideas about fox hunting. The presentation starts 8 min into the meeting.
KD6UMU, KI5VGQ and WB5JT have already built these antennas and have been doing some hunting to try out the system. How to build the antenna can be found at:

Select the 445 MHz design.
A good switch attenuator can be found at:
We could do the hunt Saturday mornings before the meeting, say 7 AM? Or we could do them other days. When it cools down in a couple of months we could do them any time during the day. Give me your thoughts. All hunts will be inside the Loop around Paris for now. – Jerry
