>> On September 19, 2009, the MMRA Saturday morning foxhunt was held
>> on the input (146.19) to the Weston 146.79 repeater.
>>
>> Tim KD1KY was the fox and made 3 bonus transmissions before the
>> official 10am start time.  The bonus transmissions around 9:40am
>> and 9:45am were made while westbound on Route 9 in Newton.  The
>> 9:55am bonus transmission was from the fox hiding location.
>> Starting at 10:00am, 30-second long transmissions were made
>> every 5 minutes.
>>
>> The fox was located near the end of Riverside Road in Newton,
>> parked in one of the parking slots next to the park.
>>
>> Riverside Road is about 4 miles SE of the repeater site and is
>> not shown on some maps.  It is a short dead-end road, only
>> about 300 feet long, running parallel to and just south of the
>> Mass Pike.  It connects to Charles Street to the east, and dead
>> ends near the Charles River.  It is about a quarter mile east
>> of Route 128.  It can only be reached by car by passing through
>> the Charles Street tunnel underneath the Mass Pike.
>>
>> Transmissions from Riverside Road were made using only 0.5W into
>> a mag-mount antenna on the car.  The two earlier transmissions
>> while traveling on Route 9 were made with higher power (perhaps 20W).
>>
>> The fox was first found at 12:06pm by Briggs AB2NJ and Dick WB1W.
>>
>> Next to find the fox was Charles AA1VS at 12:11pm.
>>
>> And then Alan N1TBN and Mike N1OMJ arrived at 12:12pm.
>>
>> Jonathan KB1SDS and Jonathan KC6F arrived at 12:25pm.
>>
>> At 12:30pm the fox announced the location and the hunt ended.
