My club wants to start transmitter hunting but first we need a hidden transmitter. What is available?
No problem! The transmitting part of T-hunting is easy if you give it a little thought. Keep in mind that no single transmitting setup is perfect for every hiding situation. Hiders use a wide variety of equipment, with power output and antenna type depending on the distance to the start point and the level of intended difficulty. You need to determine, for instance, whether you want to do short range on-foot hunting, longer range hunting on bicycles, or still longer range mobile hunts. For your first mobile hunts, just have someone stay with the transmitter and key it up at appropriate intervals. The hider can read into the mike from a book, or from the club newsletter, or just make comments and urge the hunters on, as NØQEC and KBØIEK of the Lincoln (Nebraska) Amateur Radio Club are doing in the photo at left.
