Amateur Radio Direction Finding Clubs and Organizations
Connect with local and international groups dedicated to transmitter hunting and radio direction finding activities.
Radio Direction Finding (RDF), often called transmitter hunting or foxhunting, is a popular amateur radio activity where operators use specialized antennas and receivers to locate hidden transmitters. This skill is useful for tracking down sources of interference, but for many hams, it's a competitive sport, combining radio techniques with orienteering.
Many local clubs organize regular RDF events, from casual hunts to formal Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) competitions. Groups like the Northern California Transmitter Hunters and the Victorian ARDF group provide opportunities for hams to practice their skills, build custom equipment, and enjoy the outdoors. These clubs often share techniques for using doppler systems and other RDF gear, helping operators improve their ability to pinpoint a hidden signal on various bands.
