I found a number of resources on the Internet, including one day presentations from K2GW and AA6J. Unfortunately, nothing quite fit the bill, so I pulled together a program from many sources. Credit goes to K2GW for a good portion of this material. jeff jeffstech:radio Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:31:27 -0600 http://seeingstone.net/dokuwiki/doku.php/jeffstech/radio/pipebombfox I was asked to prepare a Radio Merit Badge program to be taught at the Camp Rainey Mountain Boy Scout Camp in Clayton, GA. One of the activities that we thought would be fun for the Scouts during the Friday class period, was a Fox Hunt. This would give the Scouts a chance for some hands on radio work, in a real life search and recovery operation. jeff jeffstech:radio Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:17:24 -0600 http://seeingstone.net/dokuwiki/doku.php/sidebar Home Home School Family History Environmental Education Jeff's Tech Pages Photo Gallery ---------- Playground Wiki Syntax jeff Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:45:53 -0600 http://seeingstone.net/dokuwiki/doku.php/jeffstech/radio/tapemeasureyagi When pulling together equipment for fox hunting, a good directional antenna was required. Eddie (W4JEM) uses a 2m 3 element yagi made from sections of a flexible steel tape measure. I had an opportunity to use his antenna, and thought it would be perfect for Boy Scout activities - durable and easily repaired. jeff jeffstech:radio Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:31:14 -0600
