TARC have been hosting Foxhunts since the beginning of 2026. Ok, so what’s a Foxhunt? 

A Foxhunt has 2 different roles, the Fox and the Hunter. The Fox is a person who hides a tiny transmitter somewhere in a large area, say the entirety of Terrace. 

The hunters track down the fox using a directional antenna, usually a yagi antenna. (as shown below, its that long thing with with the orange elements) Think of yagi’s as a flashlight, you can only ‘see’ what  your pointing at, same with yagi’s. While a simple vertical (like the FM antenna on your truck) is like a lantern, it radiates in all directions. This way we can triangulate where the fox is by moving to a few different locations and getting a bearing!  As the hunters get closer the signal strength increases. A common way to find the transmitter once you get close is to walk around until you find the strongest signal then you start looking, sometimes your standing on it!
