The W1HFN fox box will be deployed at the Lime Quarry on Rte 110 [in Chelmsford] today [Wednesday, May 9, 2018]. Frequency is 146.565. There is a 20 second voice message / ID every 3 minutes and a log to sign. The unit is quite small–about the size of a deck of cards.
I will leave it out for a week, at that duty cycle batteries should last.
Good luck to all.

Had three successful finders for my foxbox; George-K1IG, Bob-W1FDR and John-KB1MGI.
Several suggestions were made regarding the timing cycle, so I have modified it to only 1 minute between transmissions. That should make it easier and less frustrating.
Watch this space for the next deployment.
