Monterey and New Catalog

We had a busy weekend at Monterey Radiofest visiting with lots of folks and answering Launcher questions. In between Alan worked on a new Web Catalog which is now online (not bad for four days part-time effort). The website was very busy with lots of hits and orders over the weekend, probably relating to the March QST photo and mention.

If you have any questions or suggestions on the new Catalog website, see the Contact Us web page on the right and drop us a line.

Some folks are questioning the long lead times. We are working hard on that, but we don’t want folks to be surprised if it is not instantly better. Lots of parts are on order and already in stock, but a lot of machining remains to be done, stuffing boxes, packing and so forth. The assembled launchers take a lot more time, so we will keep on it till we get caught up. We see Elecraft is four months out on the new K3, so it may already be too late to order K3’s for Field Day…

Thanks & 73!

Launcher Video

We heard today from a customer that there is a Launcher Video on YouTube.  Actually we found a couple of them when we visited the famous video website. This one is pretty good, it has great audio and describes the process of putting up the line for the antenna. The launcher is even hand pumped, so you can see how simple it can be.
