Radio Telemetry on a Cold November Day
Eric and Dallas are using the radio telemetry equipment to triangulate T6 (the snapper we tagged with the transmitter.) The directional antenna starts beeping when pointed in the correct direction, and gets louder the closer it is to the turtle, allowing us to relatively well pinpoint the snapper's location, but it can be tough to find the exact location because the signal becomes so strong that the directionality of the antenna no longer functions at close proximity to the transmitter.
