New Launching Video

Jack (K6JEB) sent me an email today with a link to a new YouTube Antenna Launching Video! Apparently Jack and Peter (W6DEI) helped Rich (K6YR) put up a high 40 meter doublet with Jack’s CSV19 Launcher. This CSV19 launcher was assembled by Ron (KD6ERS) from one of my kits. Video is by Peter and his GoPro.

Order Processing

We shipped a lot of orders last week, and ran out of some parts. We made a lot of parts this weekend and will be shipping most of the remaining orders this week. Thanks for your patience!

Holiday Season

The Holiday Season seems to come earlier each year. The elves are spending extra time in the workshop to finish up all the product orders and get them shipped out in time for Christmas. Make sure that all Christmas orders are in by November 30th, after that cutoff they will slide into January shipment.

We are also working on the website, so don’t be surprised at some changes and perhaps a bug or two. Let us know if you see a problem.

I’ve changed the Theme of the website, and I’m getting used to the newly updated software, so things are not finished yet. The site will continue to morph as we figure out what it can do and what we want it to look like. You can always get to the catalog pages with www.akbeng.com/catalog/ or contact us if you have a question or need something.

We made a small run of Triple Ratio Balun Kits, see Baluns. We will continue to ship balun kit orders through December.

Thanks for your support.

After Pacificon 2012

Pacificon was a fun weekend. We had a good fleamarket, Dawn had record breaking Cookie Lee sales, and I made a pair of presentations on the Arduino SWR Sweeper and Pneumatic Launchers.

It was great meeting new people, seeing old friends, and getting a dose of Ham Radio excitement.

Soon we will put the new Triple Ratio Balun kits back in the catalog. If anyone is really anxious, drop me an email via sales at akbeng dot com.
