It's not *that* bad... firstly, Karl's order wasn't placed 8th August (QCX wasn't even launched until the 21st); he ordered it on 28th August. Typo. Also... the density of orders was naturally highest in the first day then the first week etc... it has reached a more steady level now... and the QRP Labs shipment office are cranking through them ever faster... Serial number 2,000 was ordered today, of which 1,122 have been shipped out already.?
