Fox Hunt Attenuator Kit Build - (Seth Kendall KC1PZY)

Together, we will assemble Fox Hunt attenuator kits that fit onto the 70cm (UHF), directional, Yagi-Uda antennas we build in the previous workshop. This is the next step in our quest to assemble a group of well-equipped fox hunters and start doing regular transmitter hunts. These kits are based on the KC9ON Fox Hunt Offset Attenuator kit and the KC9ON v5 Fox Box printed case, and uses BNC connectors. This workshop is primarily a soldering workshop. Adults and youth 4th grade and above are invited, and students do not need to have taken other workshops in the Fox Hunt series.

Jeremy will guide us as we create patch cables to connect from our Fox Hunt Offset Attenuators to our handheld radios. Through this workshop, we‘ll learn to properly strip our coax cables, and crimp on BNC male connectors. The other end of our cables will already have SMA male connectors, ready to plug into our handy talkies. This workshop will involve some fine motor control with razor blades and soldering irons, so parental supervision is recommended. Adults and youth 4th grade and above are invited, and students do not need to have taken other workshops in the Fox Hunt series.
