We are preparing for Quartzfest. I will be making several presentations on topics including Antenna Launching, 3D Printing for Ham Radio and Electric Bicycles. More Details here.

Hope to see you at Quartzfest!

Antenna Launcher Production will resume in February.

Today we received the remaining PVC pipe order, this one for the special barrel material. We received the other PVC pipe material already. So we’re set for PVC pipe for awhile. We are preparing the pipe for storage and then we’ll return to making launchers. The last two prepaid orders are almost done, next we continue with the request list.

Pacificon is nearly here. It seems like a long time since we’ve been to a hamfest. With so many cancellations, it has been a very long time. We’re not bringing any launchers (for sale) with us this time as those are committed to the backlog, which is growing smaller. We do have a list to work on after the backlog is cleared. If you want to be added to the list, let us know.

We are bringing small stuff to the Pacificon Flea Market on Sunday. Things like launch balls, loop kits, 3d printed parts, drill twine kits, reels, spare launch line and some blemished parts at a discount. Come by and see us in the Flea Market.

Isn’t it frustrating when your handheld radio falls over? We have some new HT stands that we designed and printed that make them quite stable, yet still easy to pick up and use. We are bringing a few to the Flea Market. They are not yet added to the website, that will happen later.

We are also bringing some R&D launchers for display. A later development from the one pictured above. We have some interesting improvements being tested that may show up in future launchers.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Pacificon this weekend.

Be safe.
