We have reached that point in the year when we are going to have to cut off orders for Christmas. Orders placed now will be shipped prior to Christmas. Orders after the cutoff will ship in January. The cutoff will be sometime in the next few days (12/3), so don’t wait too long!
Orders already in the que are being processed now and will be shipped shortly. My helpers have other seasonal jobs so it is a bit of a challenge getting orders out right now.
Thanks for your patience.
Our webhost moved us to new servers yesterday, and we are having to do some cleanup. Let us know if you have any problems.
Pacificon was very nice, and we had a great turnout at our Sunday morning presentation. Thanks to all who came or stopped by at the Buddipole booth to chat.
Pacificon is nearly upon us – it starts this Friday. I will be making a presentation on Antenna Launching. The schedule shows it as Sunday Morning at 9am, but as always check the schedule to make sure.
I will be at the Buddipole booth much of the time. Hope you get a chance to come by and say hi.
Thanks for your support!
Yesterday I was granted callsign W6AKB. It is going to be difficult to stop using WB6ZQZ which I have used for a very long time. The new callsign is a bit quicker and easier to understand over the air in noisy conditions, shorter on CW and it is my initials so I should be able to remember it!
Soon I’ll have a separate website at www.w6akb.com for ham radio stuff.
Yesterday I fabricated a neat new jig to make it easier and more precise to drill pressure chambers. Always looking for improvements. Over the past week I also made some improved software for organizing orders, received another batch of PVC for parts and we shipped a bunch of launchers, but there is still a backlog that we are working on.
Thanks for your support!

Field Day has come and gone, and we are scrambling to catch up with all the new orders that piled up while we were away. We ran out of just about everything, so it takes a bit more ordering and other effort to get it going again.
We got a new shipment of the special barrel material, so that is not a problem.
Full speed ahead!
