The online store is temporarily closed until July 1. We are getting existing orders out for Field Day. We will be out of town the next two weekends.

See you at Dayton!

Barrel Material is now in.

Field Day Orders should be placed now. Time is getting short to allow for preparation and shipment of Field Day orders. Ordering will be shut down sometime during the evening of Wednesday May 7th, and reopened July first.

Recent travels and tax preparations have slowed shipments slightly, and a temporary shortage of barrel material caused us to put barrels out of stock. New barrel material should be in shortly, and production will ramp up again.

The website move appears to have gone well. In addition there was a short site outage Monday morning when the renewal had a problem with out of date information. This was fixed as quickly as we knew about it.

This weekend we had a big packing party and prepared a lot of boxes for UPS. Set a new record for one weekend.

We had a busy weekend at Monterey Radiofest visiting with lots of folks and answering Launcher questions. In between I worked on a new Web Catalog which is now online (not bad for four days part-time effort). I also see that 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.

New Online Catalog

Some folks are questioning the long lead times. I am working hard on that, but I 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. I 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!
