The W1HFN fox is out at: https://littletonconservationtrust.org/property/hartwell-family-memorial-preserve/ No one there when I placed it. Frequency is 146.565; runs continuously with a voice ID every 30 seconds. Batteries should last 3/4 days. Happy Hunting!

I am happy to report that my daughter and I made the trip out today (it’s been a while since my car was driving that far), and not only did we enjoy walking the entire yellow trail, but we also found the fox. I met KD1D there as well.

It was a beautiful day for a hike. I only caution anyone else going out to watch out for the poison ivy.

Thanks for deploying it and 73,

p.s. I’ll have to deploy my fox soon

I retrieved the fox, and the finders were:

K1IG George 5/23 at 1030
W1FDR Bob 5/23 at 1200
KC1DKY Nick 5/23 at 1739 and his daughter Tanya

Hope you folks enjoyed your romp in the woods!

PS – When I opened up the box to disconnect the battery a million (well, maybe 50) tiny ants came scurrying out.
