The last orders for Field Day are out, in the hands of UPS. We are preparing for our own Field Day trip (using callsign W6PS) and will suspend shipping until about July 1. Assembled Launcher orders will also be reopened at that time.
The previous two weekends we were away, so progress was significantly slowed. This weekend I spent just about the whole time in the shop and made a lot of PVC dust. Half a dozen orders went out, but many more parts were made. Next weekend will also be a good production weekend, and we should be just about caught up after that.
I had a phonecall today while I was in the noisy cafeteria for lunch. Someone wanted to talk to me but they didn’t leave a number and by the time I knew the cellphone was ringing they had hung up. It is best to exchange some email with me so we can choose a time for our phonecall. If a message is left I could return the call, or if caller id was available, but this caller left no way to return their call, and no email.
We’re extending the In Time For Field Day kit order window through May 5th to allow the Emcomm Hamfest folks a chance to order for pre-Field Day delivery.
Orders placed after May 5th will not be guaranteed to arrive in time for Field Day. We may stop taking orders for a short time so we can catch up.
