| Fox Hunts |
Radio Direction Finding (RDF) In cities and towns all across the country, ham radio operators from time-to-time gather together for a very special kind of contest – the Fox Hunt. A small, low power transmitter is hidden and the rest of the crew tries to find it. Sound simple? It can be very challenging and a whole lot of fun. The radio direction finding skills learned in this activity can be very valuable in locating a repeater jammer, or a lost hiker.

| Steam-N-Wheels Bike Race |

| Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) |
Jamboree-on-the-Air, or JOTA, is the largest Scouting event in the world. It is held annually the third full weekend in October. JOTA uses amateur radio to link Scouts and hams around the world, around the nation, and in your own community. This jamboree requires no travel, other than to a nearby amateur radio operator’s ham shack. Many times you can find the hams will come to you by setting up a station at your Scout camporee, at the park down the block, or perhaps at a ham shack already set up at your council’s camp. If KCARC participates; they will be set up at the following location. Name: Address: For more information visit https://www.scouting.org/jota/.
