5 Interns participated in a 2m fox hunt of 3 hidden foxes within the Gilruth premises. N1NZ designed doppler receivers coupled to Baofeng UV-R5 were used to teach direction finding during this activity. These interns shattered the hunt record by finding all three in about 40 minutes or less in some cases. Jerry N5FWB and Dave W5OC provided hosting for this hunt.
