Barry W1HFN reports that he has recently hidden his foxhunt transmitter somewhere within the Henry E. Cowdrey Nature Center off of Route 2A in Lunenburg, MA.

Barry really enjoys foxhunts, so for over two years, he has deployed his transmitter in several locations. All amateurs, as well as the general public, are welcome to hunt down his fox and sign the log.

The fox transmits on 146.565 MHz, power out is 50mw into a 1/4 wave whip. It is housed in a small die-cast box, about the size of a box of king-size cigarettes, covered in camouflage tape. It transmits a voice ID for 20 seconds every three minutes.

The transmitter is usually well-hidden and not visible to the eye. It is also usually in public access areas so only on-foot hunting is required (safer and cheaper with gas prices as they are). There is a plastic bag with a log for the foxhunters to sign nearby.

Barry's web site has further details and announcements regarding his foxhunting activities, as well as contact information. His website is http://home.comcast.net/~foxbw/site/.
