Hello everyone,
I am waiting for some toroids to arrive from the USA so that I can complete this run of kits. The 40 and 80 meter kits did not sell so well so I will be using what I have left for 30 meters when the toroids are here.
It looks like there is enough demand for a further run of kits so I will order up another 100 PCBs and components and should have the stock ready by the end of September. We will still have kits for 40 and 80 as well as the more popular 30 meters. Once I have replaced the antennas that blew down last week I hope to try out a prototype 20 meter version (Nick of Genesis radio gets thanks for providing some free Xtals for evaluation - if it was not for Nicks Xtals we probably would not be able to do the kits).
The boards for the first run of RX kits look good and Hans is working on finalizing component values. We will announce the kits when they are ready to send which should be the end of Sept, early Oct. Kits will be available for 30, 40 and 80 meters.
To streamline the order process and generally make my life simpler Hans is putting together an on line shop which will be how we will manage orders in future. I will also be taking kits to sell to the GQRP Club rally at Rishworth in Oct and the VERON Day of the Amateur rally at Appledorn Netherlands, in Nov.
Bye for now,
Steve G0XAR
