Guys,
Hans and I are delighted to announce that the new batch of beacon kits are ready.
The pricing is as follows :-
Each kit costs ?10, a spare programmed keyer chip is ?2 if ordered with a kit.
Postage, payment and packing charges PER KIT are :-
Packing in a Jiffy bag from Poundland - ?0.25
First class mail within UK - ?0.66
Airmail within Europe is ?1.31
Airmail Rest of World ?1.82
Paypal 4% of transaction costs.
Secure delivery - please ask
More than 1 kit? - please ask, we will try to keep post/packing charges to a minimum,
How to order:-
1. If you have already given an order to me/Hans you are in the queue, if not please email me at squirrox@... with "Beacon Kit Order" in the subject line. Things I need to know are :-
a) The callsign you want programmed into the keyer chip - please note "/" is not permitted at this time
b) The band(s) you want, we only do 30, 40 and 80 meters
c) How many kits you want.
d) If you need a spare programmed keyer chip
e) The country you want the kit sent to
f) If you need secure delivery
2. I will acknowledge your order and later EMail you when i am ready to ship it to you. I will tell you how much the cost will be. You then pay me by Paypal - sorry but that is the only option for payment we have for now. Put the delivery address in the Paypal instructions.
3. Once Paypal tell me the money is in my account I will ship the kits to you.
4. This seems a bit complicated, but I don't want to take your money then find out we have run out of kits as we did at Dayton and have to get the funds back to you.
5 We are unlikely to run out of kits for a while - I have 130 PCBs in stock and it is easy to get more.
6. The next rally we will be selling at is the GQRP club at Rishworth in October, Pordenone in the spring is a strong possibility..
Er, thats it ...feel free to ask any questions. A new version of the source code for the keyer will be posted on Han's site shortly. It corrects a bug in the "Y" character and allows embedded spaces within callsigns. If there is sufficient interest i will post details of how to program your own keyer on the QRPLabs group.
72/3s from Steve G0XAR, (and Hans G0UPL)
