It looks like the weather will be nice today, so I am heading out now to hide my fox in DCR Beaver Brook Reservation North.  It should be on the air by 9:00 AM, and I will confirm deployment here once it is on the air.  I will retrieve it tomorrow (June 16) at 4:00 PM or later.

Fox frequency:  147.540 MHz
 
The W1MJ Fox transmits with 4 watts to a roll-up J-pole antenna.  Depending upon the equipment used, this can make finding the fox harder than with the more typical 50 mW foxes used by this group.  An attenuator can be helpful, as can tuning into the 3rd harmonic when you get close.  There is no logbook at the fox, but if you hunt for the fox, please let me know how it went at fox@w1mj.com.
