This paper describes an antenna design project that adds a great deal of hands-on insight into antennas and propagation. The testing of antennas in done under the guise of a game, where students use their antennas to locate a hidden transmitter. The required equipment consists of basic amateur radio equipment along with very inexpensive construction material.
