The W1HFN fox has been deployed in Central MA.
Freq 146.565, 20 second voice ID every 3 minutes.
Take Rte12 South from Sterling toward West Boylston
(or North from West Boylston toward Sterling).
As you near the Wachusett Reservoir you will hear the
fox signal getting stronger. There are numerous places
to park on both ends of the causeway, pick one, take
a bearing and maybe try another ;>)
For GPS users, the center of the causeway is at N42 22.371, W71 47.747
If you go to:
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/watersupply/watershed/maps/WachusettResGates.pdf
and zoom in on the "Route 12 Bridge" (the sign actually says
"Augier Causeway") you will see numbers representing the DCR
access gates / parking areas. Park at one of those 4 for the
shortest walk, the other three for a LONG walk.
Good luck and watch out for ticks, I found two on me as I
walked back to the car.
73,
Barry - W1HFN
