(Remember not to transmit through attenuation devices.)? My contact info: Robert N0CFM@... 407-403-2658? To get on the list for future hunts shoot me an email and I will add you to our list.? Purpose: To further enjoy the amateur radio hobby, and socialize with our local amateur operators. As well as practice useful skills in radio direction finding. Please as always use your best judgment and safe practices in finding the hidden transmitter. The goal is to enjoy your hunt. Link for building a 2 meter Tape measure antenna.? If you do not have attenuation you can scroll up or down a few hertz to weaken the input signal.? Can also use just an HT and body fading. Hold the HT close to your chest and spin around slowly. Listening for a null? Having an actual attenuator helps a lot. Another method to attenuate when close to transmitter is listening to the third harmonic. Just multiply the transmitter frequency by 3 and enter that 440 MHz frequency into the radio. ( do not transmit through attenuator it can damage it)?
