[HCRA] Foxbox-1 Has Escaped the Den and is in Hiding Once Again!

[Ken, KD1KU]

Attention Foxhunters!
As of 1500hrs, June 4th, HCRA Foxbox #1 has escaped from the den and has 
gone back into hiding!
That sneaky fox is running one watt into an 18-inch antenna. I was able 
to wake it from its slumber with 50 watts in my mobile at the 
intersection of Memorial Drive & Pendleton Ave in Chicopee, MA. 
co-ordinates 42.18646, -72.57745
FB1 is running one watt into an 18-inch antenna. To activate the FB1 go 
to the simplex frequency of 147.550 MHz (PL 100.0Hz), key your 
transmitter,identify yourself with your callsignthen press the DTMF "1". 
If the Fox can hear you (and you can hear it) you will hear its very 
distinctive sound. It will transmit for 30 seconds, ID and then repeat 2 
more times and then go back to sleep. You can make it transmit as often 
as necessary to locate it.
This is a good opportunity for base stations to get in on the fun. If 
you can hear the fox please give its signal strength and direction if 
possible. Please do not reveal its location, just a location where you 
can hear it from, this then becomes a starting point for the other fox 
hunters to use. It's just as important for the hunters to know where it 
CANNOT be heard as well as where it CAN be heard!
If you locate the Foxbox, you do not have to touch it to claim finding 
it. Eyeball contact is sufficient but please post a photo (not revealing 
its location) as there may be other hunters still out there. It is 
located less than 500 feet from a safe parking location. Announce it and 
post the photo here on this group and on thegroups.io/g/WMAFoxHunters

that you found it along with any comments and a pic of FB1 (not showing 
its location). We want to know who has found it.
It's in a publicly accessible location with nearby safe parking. Getting 
to either FB may require a short walk on mostly flat ground.
Please do not post the frequency or PL on social media, websites, or 
email lists.
ALL Fox Hunters are welcomed to participate regardless of affiliation!
Happy Hunting!
