[HCRA] Fox Hunting Reminder

[Larry Krainson]

The challenge is out there! Are you up to it?

The second HCRA Fox Box has been deployed.

Are you up for a challenge of finding it?

The Fox Box is on public property. It does require a little bit of walking
to get to. But it's a very easy walk on nice smooth terrain. You can park
and lock your car and go for a little walk to find it.

Base stations can help. Tune your 2m radio to 147.550 Mhz. Set your PL to
151.4 and turn on your Tone function.

Key your microphone, ID with your call and press the "1" key on the keypad
for half a second.

Then listen. Do you hear some tones and then a CW ID? If yes, this is the
fox box.

Report your finding here with how much power, your approximate location and
what kind of an antenna you triggered it with. If you have a beam, report
the direction where the signal is the strongest. Reduce power if you can
and try again.

These reports will help the mobile hunters. It can also help you if you
want to try walking up to the fox box too.

Once you find it. Tell others that you did, but DO NOT tell them where you
found it. Let them hunt it down. Pictures of the foxbox hiding can be
posted to the HCRA Facebook page and the WMAFoxhunters group on groups.io.

Let's hear some chatter from the hunters.
