[HCRA] Known foxhunting results

[Jim W]

As of this time I have four confirmed finds for the FOX.  Bragging rights belong to W1JWN, KB1PHW, N1JIO, AND K1YO.  A big kuddos to all.

The morning started with a test at home and another in the parking lot.  After deployment, the fox failed due to a broken wire in the harness and me without a portable soldering iron which I do own. Go figure!  After effecting a real temporary repair and redeployment, the fox was range tested to about 300 feet so a trip back to change antennas and one more test resulted in covering the total park.

In the next week I will repair the harness permanently and then start looking for a new location on the east side of the river.  The intent is to locate the FOX in in parks based on the suggestions made by the membership at-large.  One vote for XYZ park could mean that the next deployment will be in XYZ park if no other suggestions were made(within reason).

KB1PHW bragging rights need to be shared with his son and K1YO has a design that helped him pinpoint the FOX and KK1W broke down. And everyone that I heard from would like to do it again which will motivate me to "DO IT ONE MORE TIME"!

If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, please let me know so that I can bring it to the board.   Have a great week and keep warm.

Once again,  Thanks
