Championship ARDF News
From USA and Around the World
From that successful beginning, ARDF interest and activity grew. In 1999 the first IARU Region 2 ARDF Championships took place in forested areas near Portland, again under the leadership of WB6BYU. Those foxhunts on two meters and 80 meters drew competitors from all over the USA and six foreign countries.
USA's national ARDF championships have taken place annually (except during COVID) since 2001. For 2026, it was a long-awaited return to the Pacific Northwest. Dale Hunt came out of retirement to be Event Director, sharing organization and course design duties with ARRL ARDF Co-Chair Charles Scharlau NZØI. They partnered with Mt. Hood Orienteering, which sponsors numerous classic orienteering meets annually and has mapped many challenging forested areas around that 11,240-foot mountain. Mapper for these championships was Tony Pinkham KA7AHP. Registrar was Kathleen Kerns K7KER. Also assisting were long-time ARDF enthusiasts Jay Hennigan WB6RDV and Woody Jackson.
Original plans were to hold the four competitions at four venues: White River Sno-Park East and West, Skyline Sno-Park and Billy Bob Sno-Park. But in early August, a multitude of forest fires broke out. The "Grasshopper Fire" northeast of Mt. Hood ignited almost 100,000 acres. The resulting smoke and congestion made all of the planned sites except Skyline Sno-Park unusable. The Forest Service gave permission to move all of the ARDF events to Skyline, forcing redesign of the sprint and classic courses.
"The Grasshopper Fire started about 15 miles NE of the Skyline venue," Dale reported. "The fire was burning in difficult terrain. It eventually burned most of the Badger Creek Wilderness, as well as threatening small communities to the East. A couple of weeks before the event, the Forest Service put out a closure notice for a large area enclosed by two major Forest Service roads. The Billy Bob venue was just inside the north edge of this. Charles and I had worked on laying out both classic courses on this map, and we had to switch it to Skyline, which was somewhat smaller than optimum. By the time of the event, the roads along the West and South edges of the Billy Bob map ended up being the active fire lines where the fire was stopped, with only a little slopover onto the rest of the map. Then the wind shifted from the East and blew the fires toward Highway 35, which connects the town of Government Camp to Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge on Interstate 84. That put our White River venues in a Level 2 evacuation zone, so the company in Hood River wouldn’t deliver the portable toilets that were required under our Forest Service permits. That’s when we had to move the Sprint competition to Skyline as well. Government Camp, where many competitors stayed, was under a Level 1 'Be Ready' evacuation order the whole time, as was the area across the highway to the east of the Skyline map."
According to Charles, "Weather was great, with high temperatures probably in the upper 70s and mostly sunny with light to moderate westerly winds developing by late morning or early afternoon that kept the smoke at bay. One morning was cloudy, with rain on the pavement while driving up through ZigZag and Government Camp, but Skyline is just over the crest of the Cascades and didn’t get any rain."
The biggest problem for competitors was the myriad of downed trees on the courses, the result of wind and snow loading through the years. According to competitor Bill Wright WB6CMD, "For the most part, there was no way to avoid it and the map was not particularly helpful in that regard. The downed trees affected my speed traveling through the forest. My legs received a few scrapes from the deadfall, but nothing serious. I was sore afterwards from climbing over the tree trunks." Others were not so fortunate. There were two bad falls on the last day, one resulting in a broken wrist and another causing a deep arm laceration.
The first competition was the Sprint on Thursday, August 13. The 1.61 kilometer course was within the exclusion (no-fox) zone that would later be on the map for the classic courses. "The sprint course was straightforward," Bill reported. "There was only one fast transmitter that I lost some time finding. Otherwise, the controls were visible on the poles as you approached them on the correct bearing." Nadia Scharlau in W65 category had the best overall time of the day, finding her six required transmitters in just 18:33. Second overall for the day was Vadim Afonkin KB1RLI in M50, finding his required eight foxes in 19:59.
Next day was foxoring on the longest course of the championships (5.48 km). "The foxoring course presented some navigational challenges to features that were somewhat indistinct on the map," Bill wrote. "This was compounded by what I thought were weak signals from many of the controls. I often struggled to hear controls from 100 meters away. However, once I got a strong signal, it was easy to locate the controls." Gheorghe Fala in M21 had an amazing race that day, finding all eleven controls in 1:11:41.
Everyone had difficulty in the two-meter classic event on Saturday due to VHF signal bounces on the 3.9 km course. According to Charles, "One of the transmitters was particularly difficult to find due to reflections, even though it was on a hill close to the road." Bill wrote, "It was my worst event, and I suspect for most of the other competitors as well." The best time to find all transmitters was turned in by Andres Viira in M50 at 1:35:58. Nicolai Mejevoi in M60 was required to find four foxes and did it in 1:33:48.
The final event was the 80-meter classic, a 3.75 km course on Sunday morning. "As expected, 80m was a pleasant change from two meters," Bill reported. "At least I could trust the bearings. However, judging distance to the controls using signal strength was a bit of a challenge. Additionally, Charles placed the transmitters such that one or two trips through the forest was required, as there were only two trails/roads on the map to use. As a result, my route choice was suboptimal." Gheorghe Fala in M21 found all foxes in 55:05, followed closely at 57:21 by Vadim Afonkin in M50.
Dale reported on the newcomers: "Mike Poulsen KK7RQD and Mitch Collinsworth K2VD are orienteers who were trying Radio-O for the first time. In the youth category (M19), Anthony 'Toto' Papathanasopoulos K7ASP had his mother drive him two hours to one of my practice sessions beforehand and he did well with just that experience. At the practice, his mother, Lucie Gouin KK7URH, asked if she could try it. She had so much fun that she signed up and took home some medals in W45."

USA's national society (ARRL) is a member of IARU Region 3 by virtue of its territories in the western Pacific ocean. Therefore USA is invited to send a team to the championships. Full membership in Team USA is open to US citizens, green card holders, and/or anyone who has lived in the United States for the past year. Non-qualifying radio-orienteers may also compete as independent visitors.
Ryuo Town is in the Shiga Prefecture of the Kansai Region of Japan. Kansai is in the south-central part of Honshu, the main island. The town is about 30km east of the Kyoto railway station. Team members must fund their own transportation expenses to and from the competition.
Early planning for Team USA is under way, so if you are considering attending, please contact Charles Scharlau NZØI, USA's ARDF Co-Coordinator (ardf@arrl.org). There may be limitations on the number of persons in each age/gender category, in which case positions will be awarded to best performers in recent USA Radio-Orienteering Championships.
Preliminary information is in the event Web site: https://www.jarl.com/2026reg3ardf/
Robert became an eager participant when ARDF first came to Ottawa, Ontario. In his QRZ page, he writes, "In fall 2019, an ARDF group was formed by Roger Egan VA3EGY with members from a number of the local ham radio clubs. ARDF has been an interest of mine since taking part in a couple of transmitter hunts and it allows me to combine two of my favorite hobbies, orienteering and Amateur Radio. There's been a lot of interest from local hams and we have put together some equipment kits including an offset attenuator and three-element Yagi. We have been organizing some local events and found a great way to engage youth groups with STEM activities."
The ARDF Ottawa Web site has more information about transmitter hunting in eastern Ontario.
ARDF in Canada got its start in British Columbia when the Third Friendship Radiosports Games took place in Victoria in 1993. Its organizers formed the nucleus of a group that continued to grow and promote ARDF throughout the country. In 1997, Perry Creighton VA7PC (SK) of Victoria, one of the Friendship Games organizers, was selected by RAC to became the first national ARDF Coordinator in North America. Joe Young VE7BFK, a participant in the 1993 Friendship Games, succeeded him as RAC's ARDF Coordinator in 2002 and continued until his retirement in 2025. Radio-orienteers from British Columbia have competed in several USA ARDF Championships. In 2010, RAC sent a team to the ARDF World Championships for the first time, with VE7BFK as one of its members.
Organized by the Lithuanian Amateur Radio Society, the 22nd IARU World Championships took place in Birstonas from August 16 through 22, 2025. This city of 3,000 residents is 50 miles west of Vilnius, the capital and largest city in Lithuania. There were separate classic ARDF events on separate days for national teams on eighty meters and two meters, each with up to five transmitters scattered in a forest that might encompass 1000 acres or more. There were also competitions in sprints and foxoring.
For the World Championships, each country may send up to three competitors for each event in each of twelve age categories, six for males and six for females, in accordance with rules of the International Amateur Radio Union. Team members are responsible for their own registration/room/board fees and for transportation expenses to and from Lithuania.
USA has been represented at every one of these ARDF World Championships since 1998, and 2025 was no exception. Team USA selection in competed categories (where more than three wish to attend) was based on performances and standings in qualifying events including the 23rd USA ARDF Championships (Michigan, October 2024) and the 24th USA ARDF Championships (North Carolina, June 2025). Co-chairs of the ARRL Team Selection Committee were Ruth Bromer WB4QZG and Nadia Scharlau KO4ADV.
Once again, Team USA was on the medal podium. Nadia Scharlau KO4ADV won an individual silver medal on 80 meters in the second classic event on August 21. In W55 category on that date, the combined scores of Nadia Scharlau, Alla Mezhevaya and Maria Burrus captured bronze for USA in the team competition.
In addition, the following team members had top-ten finishes:
Congratulations to all!

Morrow Mountain State Park was developed through the 1930s and named after James McKnight Morrow, a major land donor. It is 40 miles northeast of Charlotte and 90 miles southwest of Raleigh. Today the park has 5,881 acres and 32 miles of well-maintained trails. With excellent maps by Carolina Orienteering Klubb, it was an ideal location for the 2025 USA Radio-Orienteering Championships.
Organizing these championships were members of Backwoods Orienteering Klub. Joseph Huberman K5JGH was the Event Director and Ruth Bromer WB4QZG was the Registrar (both pictured at right above). Designing the courses was Charles Scharlau NZØI. All three have been consistent medal winners at previous USA Championships and have competed in the ARDF World Championships.
Starting on Saturday, June 14, four days of training and practice were hosted by K5JGH and WB4QZG near their home in Asheboro. The action moved to Morrow Mountain State Park on Wednesday for equipment checks, an information meeting and pizza.
Thursday was the first day of formal competition, foxoring. It closely resembles classic orienteering because there are circles on the provided map near the continuously-transmitting low-power 80-meter transmitters. Competitors use their orienteering skills to get to the circle locations, then perform direction-finding to home in on the foxes that can only be heard there.
The foxoring course was in the northern part of COK's mapped area, between a campground and the Pee Dee River. There were ten transmitters on three frequencies, separated by about 500 meters. Only competitors in the M21 category were required to find them all. Winning gold and having his best day of competition was Gheorghe Fala, who found them all in 59:23. W35 and M50 categories had eight required foxes. Lori Huberman was best for eight at 51:06.
Friday's event was the sprint, in which the transmitters are on for 12 seconds in sequence. The course has two loops. The first has five slow-keyed 80-meter transmitters on one frequency. The second has five fast-keyed 80-meter transmitters on another frequency. Competitors run through the start corridor leading to the area with slow-keyed transmitters. After finding all of the required transmitters from the first loop in any order, they run through a spectator corridor to the area with fast keyed foxes. After finding all required transmitters from this loop in any order, they run to the finish line.
To make the foxes easier to distinguish from one another during their short transmissions, the slow-keyed ones sent ME, MI, MS, MH and M5. The fast-keyed ones sent OE, OI, OS, OH and O5. The compact course was next to the parking area and a shelter to encourage spectators.
Eduard Nasybulin was fastest in M21, the only category required to find all ten sprint foxes. He did the course in 30:58, which was more than twelve minutes faster than second-place finisher William Allen. For the categories with eight required foxes (W35 and M50), Matthew Craig was fastest at 24:41.
The hardest event of a radio-orienteering championships is usually the two-meter classic, which took place on Saturday. Classics got their name because they were the first form of radio-orienteering. Five transmitters are placed at least 400 meters apart. They transmit for 60 seconds each in rotating order on the same frequency. Competitors are individually timed as they travel from the starting point to the finish, finding the transmitters required for their category along the way in any order. There are no transmitters within 700 meters of the start and 400 meters of the finish, except for a continuous beacon on another frequency near the finish line to help those who get lost, lose their map or break their glasses. To insure fairness, there are many additional rules for classic events, covering impounds, start procedures, course monitoring, protests and so forth.
The classics map encompassed 1850 acres. According to WB6CMD, "It was a compact area, which made it a challenge for the course designer. Charles did a pretty good job of finding good fox locations. Everyone was predicting beforehand that it would be really difficult on two meters due to the terrain and moisture. There was a lot of apprehension going into it, but I got pretty good bearings leaving the exclusion zone and they held up approaching the transmitters. There was one on which I didn't get good bearings early on. Fortunately it was far enough away and I knew the order I wanted to take. As I got close, the bearings cleared up and I found it on a little knoll next to the river."
Bill Wright's time for his three required foxes was 1:28:06, which earned him a silver medal in M60 category. The M60 winner was Evgeny Danilov in 1:13:24. In the other three-fox adult categories (W55, W75 and M70), the best time was turned in by Nadia Scharlau KO4ADV at 1:08:18. In the five-fox M21 category, the gold medalist was Eduard Nasybulin in 1:57:20.
In 2024, WB6CMD won M60 gold in all four events, but he was not disappointed with his two medals in 2025. "Nicolai Mejevoi and Iurii Kolesnykov weren't at the USA championships in 2024. Evgeny Danilov KQ4QYZ has really improved. I was very impressed with his skills and his performance. So the competition was much more intense. I think I did better than some years before. I seemed to have my act together and didn't make as many blunders."
Sunday was the final competition day with the 80-meter classic event. The map area was the same, but the start and finish points were reversed, so competitors had to walk in to a high point to get to the starting line. Bill Wright reported that the entire area was very good for orienteering. "The trails didn't help all that much, and the terrain was open enough that on 80 it was best to just go directly toward the signal. The small amount of green on the map overemphasized the vegetation."
It is typical for 80-meter course times to be faster on average than for two-meter equivalent courses. Eighty-meter signals do not reflect from terrain features to cause incorrect and confusing bearings like two-meter signals often do. The nulls on 80-meter ARDF sets provide sharper bearings than the pattern peaks of two-meter yagis. In addition, 80-meter receiver-antenna sets are smaller, lighter and less awkward to carry than two-meter sets.
In this 80-meter classic, Eduard Nasybulin was winner in the five-fox M21 category, finding them all in 1:00:39. He was just seven seconds faster than second place Gheorghe Fala. Nadia Scharlau KO4ADV had the best pace of the day, finding her three W55 required foxes in 41:22.
The championships went very smoothly, to the delight of Course Designer NZØI. He wrote, "All of the competition's radio equipment worked flawlessly. Some of the transmitters were placed in the woods as much as eight days before they were scheduled to operate. They all came on at their prescribed times and timing of transmissions was well within the maximum overlap rules. Spreading the deployments out over a four-day period made it very manageable for a single course setter to handle the task. I even had time to attend meetings and the banquet!"
Congratulations to all of the gold medal winners. They are, in alphabetical order:

The 25th USA Radio-Orienteering Championships
And 13th IARU Region 2 Championships
Mt. Hood, Oregon, August 12 - 16, 2026
Back in 1991, USA's first international on-foot transmitter hunt using IARU rules took place in Portland, Oregon. Visiting radio-orienteers from USSR and Japan came to the City of Roses to compete against the Northwest ELT Team and some southern California transmitter hunters as part of the Friendship Radiosport Games. Organizing this two-meter event in Portland's Forest Park was Dale Hunt WB6BYU (at left).
Dale continued, "Just before Charles arrived to start setting the course, the wind changed and the smoke was tolerable. For the first couple days of the championships, you could smell it in the air at times, especially in the mornings before the wind came up. But after that it cleared up and we had nice weather. We had a supply of KN95 masks on hand in case the wind shifted."

Morrow Mountain in North Carolina was the site of the 2025 USA ARDF Championships.The 24th USA National Radio-Orienteering Championships
Albemarle, North Carolina, June 19 - 22, 2025
When first formed, the Uwharrie Mountains of central North Carolina rose to nearly 20,000 feet above sea level. Erosion has gradually worn them down to the high hills that they are today. The top of Morrow Mountain is only 936 feet, but it's beautiful and the area is perfect for ARDF.
Attending were about thirty fans of on-foot hidden transmitter hunting from USA and Canada. Some took advantage of the campgrounds and cabins at the park, while others spent nights in nearby Albemarle. Traveling from southern California were long-time radio-orienteers Bill Wright WB6CMD and Scott Moore KF6IKO (pictured at left). "We got really lucky with the weather," Bill reported. "We finished before the big heat wave came in. I think on the worst day it was up in the nineties, which was miserable enough but not as bad as we feared. We were usually on course by 9:30 and people were pretty much done by noon. But you can't get around the fact that when it's 90 degrees with eighty to ninety percent humidity, it's going to be miserable sometimes. They had controlled burns on part of the map we were using, which really cleared out a lot of the low-lying vegetation. That was good for orienteering. I didn't encounter a single tick and the bugs were pretty minimal."

This Homing In site has used the terms "ARDF" and "Radio-Orienteering" interchangeably with respect to on-foot transmitter hunting under international rules. Both terms are recognized in most countries where the sport is performed (see example at right from Czech Republic). However, ARDF is often confused with in-vehicle transmitter hunting (which I prefer to call "T-hunting"). Now the ARRL ARDF Committee has decided to emphasize the term "Radio-Orienteering" to help minimize confusion. The Committee sent this message on June 20, 2022:
This fund was first established in year 2000 with "seed money" from the Colvin Award, the ARRL Foundation and the ARRL General Fund. In its first five years, payments from the fund were made on behalf of 18 individuals to help defray the cost of their participation in three ARDF World Championships. Grants from the fund have also been made to the organizers of two USA ARDF Championships.
No further contributions are anticipated from the original sources, so the fund has been opened to contributions from individuals and clubs. All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and will be acknowledged by ARRL, a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions may not be designated by donors to be granted to any specific recipient, individual or group.
Grants from the fund may be requested by groups sponsoring ARDF events in the USA and by individuals who have qualified to represent the USA in ARDF competitions sanctioned by the ARRL or the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). Requests for grants should be submitted electronically at least 60 days in advance of need to the Development Office at ARRL Headquarters. They will be reviewed by a committee that includes ARRL's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Development Officer and ARDF Committee.
You can help support ARDF in the USA by sending a donation to ARDF Development Fund, c/o ARRL, 225 East Main Street, Newington, CT 06111. Checks should be made out to ARRL with "ARDF Development Fund" on the memo line.
The not-for-profit American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national association of Amateur Radio operators, founded in 1914. ARRL is a member society of the IARU.
