Eliot Mayer, W1MJ, writes on the NEMassFoxHunters list and Boston ARC mailing list:The W1MJ fox will be deployed this weekend (September 27-28) on public land near Alewife Station, which is on the MBTA Red Line and several bus routes.
If coming by car, start at one of the following parking lots:
- Alewife Station ($$$)
- Alewife Reservation Parking, 2-8 Acorn Park Dr, Cambridge, MA 02140 (free)
- Thorndike Parking Lot, Arlington, MA 02474 (free)
Hours of Operation:
Saturday: 10:00 AM until 7:00 PM
Sunday: 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Frequency: 147.54 MHz
The fox is running 4 watts to a roll-up J-pole antenna, so bring your attenuator. Depending upon how well shielded your radio is, hunting with no antenna may prove helpful. Hunting on the 3rd harmonic (442.62 MHz) may also be helpful when you get very close. For more information about this fox, see https://www.w1mj.com/fox/.
