Attention all fox hunters:
HCRA Foxbox1 and Foxbox2 have gone into hiding!
Both are located somewhere within the City of Chicopee.
I would like to issue a special challenge to all hunters (and future
hunters) to locate BOTH Foxbox's this Memorial Day weekend! Are YOU up
to the task?
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 do locate either Foxbox you do not have to touch the box 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.
Both are located less than 500 feet from a safe parking location.
Announce it and post the photo here on this group and the HCRA Facebook
Group that you found it along with any comments other than its location.
We want to know who has found them and who hasn't.
I can tell you both are in a publicly accessible location with nearby
safe parking. Getting to either FB may require a short walk on mostly
flat ground.
FB1 and FB2 are on the 2-meter simplex frequency 147.550 with one watt
into a duck-type antenna. PL tones and additional details can be found

Happy Hunting!
