For some background, I recently joined the amateur radio club at UIUC, W9YH. One thing the club doesn&rsquo;t have currently is a foxhunt transmitter, so I figured it would be a fun project to try and build my own FM transmitter for foxhunting. Foxhunting for the uninformed is where you hide a small radio transmitter somewhere, then use directional antennas to try and find the location of the transmitter. It&rsquo;s lots of fun and a great learning experience for new hams!</p>
