Fox Oring
Fox Oring is a variation of the sport of
radio direction finding activity and an abbreviation of the word orienteering
.
Description
Like
radio transmitters
put out very little power, and can be received over only very short distances, often no more than 100 meters. The location of each transmitter will be indicated on the map with a circle. The transmitter does not need to be exactly at the circle's center or even located inside the circle, but one should be able to receive its transmissions everywhere within the area indicated by the circle. A competitor must use orienteering skills to navigate to the area of the circle on the map and then use radio direction finding skills to locate the very low power transmitter.
Fox Oring has increased popularity and it's now an official part of the International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 championship.
