Jay,
This may help a little
Dick WB4SUV
If you live in New England and have some time to spare, the
W1HFN hidden TX will be deployed this Sat, 15 Nov at the
Cowdrie Nature Center in Lunenburg, MA.
The fox is a WB6EYV "SquawkBox" (thanks Bob) in a metal case
wrapped in camo tape. It transmits on 146.565 with a 20 sec.
voice ID every three minutes. There will be a log to sign
under it, so please record your find. The batteries will
power the fox for over 10 days, so it will be left there until
next Sat.
Pleae check my web site at: http://home.comcast.net/~foxbw/site/
Click on the Photos link for a pic of the fox and an aerial
view of the Center. The parking area is located on Rte 2A
(called Massachusetts Ave. in these parts) If you were to go
to GoogleMaps and enter 1750 Massachusetts Ave, Lunenburg, MA 01462
it will put you right at the parking area.
Good luck to all
73,
Barry - W1HFN

Way cool, I just happen to be nearby. Is this fox a "find it whenever,
runs intermittently" type of thing? If so are there more details such
as frequency and duty cycle? Google comes up empty on "Cowdrie Nature
Preserve", is there another name for the area?
