Over the past 24 hours, Jack and I have been in contact off-group about the possibility of setting up a VK source for the W8TEE BITX40 VFO etc pcb, one that could also be accessed by our cousins in NZ.

I am pleased to advise that Jack and I have been easily able to reach agreement. As a result, I will buy a quantity of boards from him at US$7.50 each, plus shipping on whatever quantity I end up ordering. In turn, I will make the boards available to builders here downunder at their cost to me. In other words, the individual board price will be based on equally sharing my costs by simply dividing my total payment to Jack by the number of boards involved.

The price to each participant will then be that unit price per board, plus the actual costs of my posting the order to the builder. Obviously, the final cost will depend upon how many boards the builder requires and the postage cost to that address from VK7 but we confidently predict that ther will be a saving on the cost of ordering directly from Jack. Fortunately, the Australian customs declaration is comparatively simple document and there is never a queue at my local Post Office and we have a free trade agreement, so ZL orders won't be any hardship at this end.

I am travelling over the next 3 days but will reach my home QTH on Wednesday 14 June. I hope to be able to place the order with Jack within a day or so of getting home. If you would like to take part in this group buy please email me direct at vk7mx@wia dot org dot au, removing the spaces and the dots, obviously.

I intend to buy a few spare for future builders, so don't be too concerned if you come across this post later than 14 June.
