We had a great trip to Quartzfest. I made 3 presentations - one on launchers, one on baluns and one on the amazing new LED flashlights. Hope to see you there next year!

Various issues in January conspired to delay our progress on orders by several weeks. Things are moving again, but we have missed estimates of shipping in some cases. My apologies for that.

We are about out of the old cache of triggers, so we will be shifting to a different unit. Eric has used these in all his launchers and they work well. To my eye they are not quite as aesthetic, but functionality is fine. I will continue to evaluate other triggers and may find a better choice later on. The trigger is easy to upgrade when not glued, and we no longer recommend glue there.

We’ll be at Quartzsite, Arizona for the next week. We are going to make a presentation on Monday. If you are at Quartzsite next week and miss the presentation, look me up and we can show you how it works. Production will resume when we return.

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.

The Online Store is in much better shape now. Let us know if you have any problems.

Thanks for your patience.

The new shopping cart is having some difficulties. It has been submitting all orders with foreign shipping and handling. We will install another version to see if this behavior is improved. It was not noted in our testing as PayPal didn’t let us get far enough to pay ourselves…

For those domestic customers who ordered, we will of course refund the additional postage shortly.  Please let us know of any issues you find with the shopping cart or website.

Thanks, the Management..
