If pics of dead coyotes don't bother you there are some excellent calls in MP3 at the bottom of this page:

Coyote Calling with Free MP3 Sounds

Jackrabbit distress (hare), Cottontail distress (rabbit) & the High Pitched Squeal are probably the most useful for use in the UK. You could try putting the files on your phone (if it has a built-in speaker) and see if that works. Alternatively, you could try calling using your hand (suck on the palm, you have far more control than the usual 'kissing the back of your hand' usually recommended) and use the MP3's to see if you are making the right noise.

I've been calling foxes for thirty years now I suppose, with practice you'll get better results using your hand than any call in my experience - though the hare calls are very loud and are useful for calling in distant, unseen foxes.

Cheers
