Foxhunting is the fine art of wandering aimlessly over hill and dale whilst loaded down with enough electronic equipment to single-handedly repair the MIR space station...

     Seriously, (if that's possible), Foxhunting is a great way to learn about propagation, electronics, antennas, geography, and people to name just a few. It's all about a bunch of (crazy?) hams trying to locate a hidden transmitter, the "fox", within a predefined area, (usually a few miles), and a predetermined time (usually one to two hours). This is generally followed by a feast and lie-swapping session. Give it a try - You'll like it!
