All:

I am still a member of the Richardson Wireless Klub.? They are planning to group order some Ed Fong Anttenna at a club discount.
There are JPoles (2m/70cm), triband and high gain UHF-only antennae available.? Ordering continues through the end of September.

If there is interest in UAARC, I can be your representative to place a group UAARC order with the K5RWK group, and pick the order up
in Richardson.? Let me know if there is interest.? I can be reached at neelyll@....

Group Buy of Ed Fong Antennas

By Michael Masterson WT9V

Well folks, it’s that time again, As Ed offered during his recent presentation at the July RWK meeting, we’re going to do another group buy for?Ed Fong antennas.? Ed pays his students to prepare the materials for the antennas that he assembles and tunes himself. Thus the proceeds from the antenna sales go towards helping tomorrow’s RF engineers get educated. The last time we did this (in 2019), RWK produced the largest order Ed had ever had to that point.? Will we top it this time? Who knows?? We’ve got a bunch of new people since the last time – here’s your chance to save up to 20%!

We’re going to take orders from RWK Members through the end of September, and then we will send one combined order to Ed. I’ve set up a??to make the ordering and payment process easier (at least I hope it will be).? I listed the regular prices from Ed’s Antennas web page, as well as the discount we’re getting with the group buy.? Once the shipment is in, you can pick up the goods at the next club meeting, or if you like, you can arrange to pick things up at my place.

If you want to have things shipped to you, there will, of course, be an extra charge for that. Also, due to the size, the TBJ-1 (tri-band) won’t be something that I’ll turn around and ship – if you can’t pick it up from us, you’ll have to get that from Ed directly.

As a reminder,?most all the antennas are the antenna elements and PVC endcaps only. You’ll need to go down to Lowe’s or Home Depot and get a particular stock number of PVC pipe that Ed has tested and made sure won’t interfere with the antenna’s performance (in his testing, he’s found some PVC that had metallic particles that kept the antennas from working properly).

If you have any questions at all, please contact me (WT9V) before you order.
