The KB1OIQ 2m and 80m foxes have been deployed. I will leave them out until Tuesday evening around 6 PM. I’m 99% certain the 2m battery will last. The lifetime of the 80m battery has been improved but only experimentation will show me how long it will last.
The 2m fox frequency is 146.565 MHz. The 80m fox frequency is the TV color burst frequency: 3.5795 MHz.
Subtract 1 character from this encoded message to get the clue as to where the foxes are hidden.

KB1MGI: I still have your 80m fox receiver. Please contact me so I can get it back to you.
Have fun and 73,

The KB1OIQ 2m and 80m foxes were retrieved on Tuesday evening around 6 PM. The only person who reported finding the foxes was George K1IG.
Did anybody else find the foxes, or attempt to find them?
Thanks, and 73,
Andy
