Hi there, Ron! When Sheilla and I partisipated in our club's fox hunt last 
summer, we listened for signal strength. We didn't have any external device 
which would allow us to attenuate the signal. The only one we had was the 
one that's built into the Kenwood t h f 6 a. I think you press the function 
button along with the monitor button. I don't remember how much DB 
attenuation that gives you; but that's what we had. If I had the money I'd 
like to get one of those sniffers like Richard down in L A got. hth, Ron! 
Doug, N6NFF

Hi Doug and Sheila,
I'm curious how you used the beam with your radio for the fox hunt? Did you
listen for signal strength change? Did you have to use an attenuator to
reduce signal strength?

Thanks,

Congratulations, Richard for winning the fox hunt. Last summer our radio
club had a two part antenna workshop building those tape measure yagis. Two
blind persons took part in the hunt and they finished both second and third.
The third blind person would have been myself; except that my yagi broke. I
did partisipate in the one that was held the following month and I finished
second. There was a guy who had all kinds of fancy gagets and he was so sure
that he would finish first. He finished dead last; and I mean, really dead
last. He finished an hour after the guy who finished first. 73. Doug, N6NFF
