[HCRA] Fix box 2 is back in hiding

[John Murray]

What a perfect day to get outdoors today and find the FOX FB2 - my first
one ever!  Thanks Larry for taking the time to set up the Fox and for the
tutoring on how to use my homemade antenna and attenuator, built in 2019 at
one of HCRA's workshops.

I live in Agawam, and had the signal from my house to get an initial
bearing.  I drove across the south-end bridge and stopped on a side street
off the Sumner Ave exit area and got another bearing.  I'm sure you'll get
the signal anywhere in that general area.

When I thought I was close, I parked and walked on the road, and then
traipsed through the woods a bit as I followed the signal, but later found
that wasn't required if you know how to work that attenuator better as you
get closer along the way.

Had a good time, and will try to get a few grandkids out there to follow
the signal on this one or the next one.  Great fun!
