AP-S Colombia Fox Hunt Challenge 2026

🦊📡 IEEE AP-S Fox Hunt Challenge 2026🔎 How it works – Design and use your own antenna system. – A hidden transmitter (“fox”) will be placed in the competition area. – Using RTL-SDR receivers, teams will track the signal, estimate direction, and locate the transmitter. 👥 Who can participate – Free registration. – Exclusive to active IEEE AP-S members. – Undergraduate students and above are welcome. – Teams of 2–3 participants (all must have active IEEE + AP-S membership). 🎓 Free training included – Workshop 1 (JUL/07/2026): Basic antenna concepts and VNA measurements (impedance, VSWR, bandwidth). – Workshop 2 (JUL/08/2026): RTL-SDR for signal acquisition and demodulation (receiver setup, spectrum visualization, basic demodulation). 🏆 Awards – 1st Place: NanoVNA V2 Kit (50 kHz–3 GHz) – 2nd Place: NanoVNA-H Kit (9 kHz–1.5 GHz) – 3rd Place: RTL-SDR Blog V3 RTL2832U SMA 📅 Registration open From JUN/12/2026 to JUL/08/2026. ⚠️ WARNING: All registered participants will be manually verified as active AP-S members, and a confirmation of registration will be sent to their email.
