You are sooooo right!? I will be waiting for my kit around mid September, as they say.? I am a bit disappointed though, that they haven't really sold 11 thousand kits....

That 5 digit number is your Order #, not your 5W Transceiver waiting list number. You should get an email with the Serial Number (SN). That is the waiting list number.

My # is 11,607.? At 500 per month, I can expect my kit in, say, two years?? Your kit is very popular!

Hi all

Forgive the OT post please...

The 320 available kits from the first batch sold out in just over a day since yesterday's launch (320 was the number that remained after the Friedrichshafen hamfair pre-orders and 90 YOTA buildathon kits). Some people might have tried to order and seen the "Out of Stock" message on the shop page? . Now I have set the stock to 500 again, and a note that these should be considered as PRE-orders for the next batch of 500 kits, which are expected to be completed in mid-September.?
