The Radio Amateur Society of Norfolk (RASON), Virginia Beach Amateur Radio Club (VBARC), and Chesapeake Amateur Radio Service (CARS) are jointly supporting and encouraging ‘Fox Hunting’ to hone the Amateur Radio Operator’s directional finding skills. This is simply one of the many fun aspects of the amateur radio hobby and is seated in tradition and fellowship. It is also a way for the non-amateur to become familiar with some aspects of the hobby, as well as participate.
