Radio Orienteering – The ARDF Handbook is the definitive guide to Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) — a sport that blends orienteering with radio skills. Competitors use receivers and maps to locate hidden transmitters within a set time limit, combining physical challenge with technical precision.

Written by Bob Titterington (G3ORY), David Williams (M3WDD), and David Deane (G3ZOI), this comprehensive RSGB publication covers everything needed to get started or refine your technique. It begins with the history of ARDF, then moves through practical chapters on event organisation, equipment setup, and safety considerations.

Readers will learn how to plot bearings, interpret receiver results, and accurately translate signals onto maps. The book also includes training and physical preparation tips, plus detailed home‑construction projects for 3.5 MHz and 144 MHz DF receivers, transmitters, keyers, and antennas — complete with circuit diagrams and practical applications beyond ARDF.

Whether you’re new to the sport or an experienced competitor, Radio Orienteering – The ARDF Handbook offers a well‑illustrated, accessible reference for mastering this fascinating blend of radio and navigation.
