Foxhunting... at that time (around 1977) still a family business by car.
To the left of the car, Leon (ON4???) of Schoten, and to the right Mart (ON6RW) and Alida (XYL of ON6GV). The car probably belongs to Luc (ON1GL).

| Tracking equipment
based on a high-speed (about 100 rpm) rotating antenna, plotting the
direction in real-time on a P7 radar tube... even today high-tech stuff for foxhunting.
Here you see it mounted on the passangers seat of Frans (ON5GO) his car. The equipment is still owned by Frans today, and in working condition !

ON4ADC checking his equipment a last time. |
| Now you
know why we all prefer a sun roof in our car. Direction finding
antenna's controlled by man power, ON4QV of Wilrijk by Antwerp, from within the car... speed and
accuracy that can't be beaten by a mechanical rotor.
