[HCRA] Fox Box 2 has been Deployed!

[Steve KA1STV]

Hello everyone,

I can hear a constant morse code type transmission from Southampton. It’s scratchy but reading S6 on my meter. Is that what I’m supposed to be hearing?  I’m brand new at this game so I’m not sure as I began hearing the broadcast prior to attempting any activation.

73,
