The CT Foxhunters have moved their foxbox. Faye and I are going out hunting
for it tomorrow. IF you'd like to join their group, go to:
https://groups.io/
<https://groups.io/?fbclid=IwAR3UQA_7CGNV2QBLEhtxHCJOZdGNsSSGVyrcopXw8Y6eme5k1FBAtKM037M>
and
create a free account.

Then search for CT FoxHunters and join. Hints as to where and how to
trigger the FoxBox so you can hunt it are on the website.

Take a few pics and to post that you've found it. But do not post where.

It's a great way to get out of the house for a few hours when you have the
time.

The HCRA will be doing this too sometime soon. Happy Hunting!

73,

Larry, W1AST

In anticipation of the HCRA FoxBox coming to life in the very near future,
I have created a group called WMAFoxHunters at:
https://groups.io/g/WMAFoxHunters If you have an interest in participating
or just watching, join the group. There is no fee, it is free.
Announcements on how the foxbox works, how to activate it and when it has
been hidden and more will be posted here.

Message-ID: <CAEykQHFHD05y2pSDnNN8fCiae4yN20tK0ATpbnXtgpeFT_z-mw@mail.gmail.com>

To all participants of Field Day with the HCRA.

Today I was informed by the director of the School Street Park in Agawam;
where the HCRA holds it's Field Day weekend; that the park will not be open
until July 1st due to COVID-19.

This is not really a big surprise but one that I was hoping would not
arrive.

I was told that should something change, and the park opens, we will have
access to it again. I believe if that should happen and it is safe for us
to be out in groups, that we could put together a Field Day effort with
enough volunteers fairly quickly. But we will have to see.

For now, everyone stay safe and healthy.

Larry,

I live in Wilbraham and we have about 10 acres. Mostly cleared with plenty of shade. We also have 50+ foot trees for rigging antenna's, grid power close-by. However, that's less of a concern for Field Day. Would love HCRA to consider using our location for Field Day. Plenty of parking...especially for the late night fists. Campfires would also be nice to help keep the bug count down. We have water on the property...it gets nasty in terms of skeeters, but hey, it's field day in New England.

Location is convenient. Just off Boston Road in Springfield. Near the Friendly's Ice Cream plant. (don't eat friendly's ice cream, if you have pride in your choice of dessert)

Check us out on QRZ... 

I'd love to meet up to discuss. Zoom or whatever....
